Hmmm. Never had this issue personally (my clownfish fought over the nem when I had it). Apparently the easiest way to get it going is to put the nem and the clownfish in a bucket with absolutely nothing but the two of them. Soon after, you'll have a hosted nem!

Most clown fish are tank raised and have no clue what a nem is, they may be too young although I was told by a reliable person that sometimes they just don't host at all. I have a pair of Ocellaris that are hosting a big pulsating exenia. I also have a pair of true perks that don't host anything, go figure!

I wouldn't say they are too young - my maroon was just a youngin' when he hosted the GBTA. If the bucket technique didn't work, I'd suggest just giving them some time. I think mine hosted so fast because of the other fish that were in the tank - they got nipped at every once in a while. The nem provided a safety house for them.
That's cool that the clowns hosted the xenia. Now that my nem has died, I'd love to see the clowns in my tank host something (because now adays, apparently they'll host anything!). Be neat to see!

I think some clowns just don't host, or it may take time together before the start. I have one pair that host in a torch and another in a yellow polyp colony... Clowns are clowns

the picture thing did not work for me either. At the end I sold those clownfishs and bought 2 black ice and the 2 black ice hosted the sebae anemone within a day. This is now their home and they defend that anemone with all their strength.

My captive bred clown randomly decided that after 9months in the tank my Torch was a pretty cool place to hang out. Now it's buried in there almost 24/7
