    Usually a clown will have a favorite spot in the tank. It looks like the anemone is attached to that rock, so move the rock with nem to the spot where the clown favorites, hopefully you will soon see the clown being hosted by the nem. This is what I did with my frogspawn and clown and it only took a week for my spawn to start hosting my clown. But keep in mind sometimes the nem won't host or the clown isn't interested in being hosted. Give it a try. Hopefully the nem won't end up moving somewhere else either lol.

    I've heard of some people taping pictures of other clowns in anemones to the glass, not sure if it works or not

    I.M.E. sometimes the clowns are to big for the anemone to host clownfish.
    another thing that might pop-up is
    wrong species of clown + wrong species of nem. like; ocellaris + condy. even though ocellaris clowns will host anytghing that have tentacles. and condies are unhostable
