Nothing you can do but let nature take it's course.

Mine venture into anything resembling an anenome, hammers, elegance, fuzzy shrooms.
Just depends on the clown I guess.

good luck.

if you can swing it get hold of a maroon or one of the other easier to host clowns for a bit and he will teach the ones you have what to do, this has happened that way in my tank and they never looked back.

People are using pictures of clowns in nems to give them the idea , i dont know if it works but its an idea.

i also have moved corals that they were hosting close to the anem and they may jump over

Not all clowns will host in all anemones. Do some research to make sure you've picked a compatible pair. http://www.carlosreef.com/download/fclick.php?1

worked with me for all black clowns and for my true percs, took about 2 days once I tapped a picture of other clowns hosting a similar style of nem on the side of the tank. It sounds crazy but it worked with 4 different clowns I have...
