hosting is instinctive, i have seen many captive breed clown hosting almost instantly when added to a tank.
your biggest problem is your choice of hosts are not a natural choice for your species of clown. you don't want your clowns to be hosted by an LPS coral, the rubbing by the clowns will usually rip the coral apart on his skeleton. natural hosts for A. percula are H. magnifica and S. gigantea, unfortunately two of the toughest to keep anemones. you may get lucky and they'll be hosted by another species but it could take some time or may not happen at all. good luck

My clowns are hosting the side of my wavebox
 They love the thing. Clean the heck out the one side and back and rarely leave it unless its to get food. They used to host some hairy mushrooms but after the tank move, they went straight to the wavebox and have never left.

What clowns host a Seabae anemone? I had one prior to my tank crash and had two false percs hosting an open brain coral instead of the Seabae.
