Waking up a dead thread... but it's my own, so I'd say it's OK!

Anybody have opinions about maroon clowns in LTA's? I was at the LFS the other day looking for my next fish, saw a pair of maroons in a BTA, got to talking to the staff there and decided that I was ready for an anemone... and the clowns to go with it. While talking I was told that the maroons will take to either the BTA that they were in, or the LTA that was beside it... so I picked the LTA which had a little more colour. Got them home, acclimated them, put them in the tank, and.... no dice. Clowns don't even look at the LTA. Not very happy. Is this a lost cause... should I be looking for a nice BTA, or is there some way that I can assist? Does this relationship take time sometimes, or instant (like my last BTA/maroon)?

Any help would certainly be appreciated... thanks all!
