Of all the Indo/Pacific hosting species I think H. crispa hosts more clownfish than any other species, being a natural symbiont for some 14 species whereas the next two most numerous are 12 species (H. magnifica and S. mertensii) (ref: Fautin/Allen). FWIW, of course, because in captivity many associations are formed that do not occur in the wild.

H. crispa is a natural symbiont for A. percula although not A. ocellaris, but basically I would say that even if your fish is ocellaris, they'll probably go in at some point. If they're captive bred, it might take them some time for the old instincts to kick in. Of course there are never any guarantees though, but good luck nonetheless.

PS. Namscam ... please do scan those pictures in and post them! It would be awesome to see.
