If you can find one of those Clownfish shaped & coloured veggie clips (usually quite inexpensive), try dangling that into the anemone. You haven't mentioned type of clownfish/anemone. That could help solicit additional advice on the forum, since not all clowns/anemone species are natural hosts.

I tried the picture method, it didn't work for me. However some patience is all it took. I took the pic down and a couple of weeks later hosting they are.
