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.

Be careful what you ask for my clowns have been hosting an open brain coral that they are killing. Wish they did not host anything. just my two cents. They are also starting to host a frogspawn between the open brain. It is a real PITA.

Bought 2 small clowns and an RBTA to add to our existing tank that had 1 slightly bigger clown in it. Put the anemone in first and then the new small clowns and they immediatly went straight for it. After a few days the original clown started hanging around in it and chased the others away. Sadly that anemone did not make it but we bought a new neon pink and speckled bubble tip and they paid no interest for the week it was in the tank. I came home last night and one of the small clown was curled up sleeping in. Now they are all interested again. Who knows...

I have the same issue, when I first go them my feather duster hosted them which this stressed out the feather duster. I then bought a nem to get them away from the feather duster and they instantly took over that but the nem got to big for my tank so I had to get rid of it. As soon as I took it out they went straight for my open brain. They are stressing it out cuz it doesn't inflate anynore, feeder tentacles never come out either so I have to figure out how to get them away from it. Darn little buggers constantly bite my hand every time I put it in the tank
