    Nope totally normal, some times they take to it some times they dont. Being a new tank it might take a week or 3 months its hard to tell. Every pair is different, and once you move them its a crap shoot on how long before they take to it again or at all!

    Tape a picture of a clowns to your glass that are hosting a nem so your fish can see it. I've heard that helps.

    i agree. It is normal for that to happen. Although since yours were already hosting it might not take them too long before they go back to it.
    mine took 3 months to even look at the anemone as a host.:p
