Default My Bubble Tip Anenome is not hosting the anenome fish!?

Bought a nice Bubble Tip Anenome about 3 days ago, and so far, my True Percula Clown is not going anywhere near it. Does it take a few days for the anenome to decide to host it or is it possible it won't happen at all?

My Oscellaris are hosting my Aussie Elegance and could care less about the GBTA about a foot away from them.

my clowns hosted my RBTA the very first day i got it! they love it, It can take some time for them to host, i heard if u put a picture up of a clown hosting an anemone it might help.

I have a pair of Gold Stripe Maroons who are hosting a GBTA in my SPS tank, they'll steal food from the tangs just to feed the anemone, sure is cool to watch. I have never tried the picture thing, I have yet to own a Clown who wouldn't host something.

(script from the tread)
personaly i have never had any luck with this till today. earilier this week i got a rbta and today i found a percula clown that had a partilly missing stripe, so i got him, hes cool. got em home and wanted him to host to the rbta. right? not to much to ask. so i cut the bottom of a 2 liter bottle off, placed it over the rbta with the clown in there to, no later than 30 seconds pass and hes in there. just to make sure i left the bottle on the for about ten minutes. now hours have gone by and hes still in there....so sweeeeeet

I'v seen the puttng up a picture method work on a pair of captive bred darwin clowns...

though whether it was the pic or the fish just deciding to go with it is virtually impossible to verify IMO.
