Yeah I agree. A lot of clowns are now captive bred and don't understand hosting. Mine will not host in my RBTAs at all. I guess there will now be an influx of people wanting wild caught.

To add to the theory on captivity vs non-captivity, I would also theorize that hosting is an instinctive defence mechanism. It helps them feel safe and secure to be near a 'nem. However, if they already feel safe and secure then there really is no need for them to hang out in a 'nem.

What kind of lights are you running on your tank? If the nem is moving, something is not to its liking. Flow, lights etc.
My nem moved for the first couple of days in the tank, then settled approx 4 inches from where I originally placed it. My clown jumped in it within a week and is now quite protective of it. My male tries sneaking in when the female is out, then she drives him scurrying across the tank when caught. I'd give both the clowns and nem a chance to settle before worrying if they'll host.
