I have a black clown that will not host my RBTA.   I don't know if it just hasn't found it yet or just doesn't like it.  They are in my little 6 gal nano and it is the only fish in there.

Its normal it might take some time, how long have you had the clown and anemone?
It's not about what you know but about who you know

It sounds crazy, but find a picture online of a clownfish hosting an anemone and tape it to the glass closest to the anemone.

 just a few things... one is time, if you haven't had them both together very long it will take a bit. A pic works and them feeling threatened works too. maybe chase it with your finger until he gets close to the anemone and then back off. But that will take time and constant chasing and such. If you put another fish in there that might do it, but it is a small tank and you might not want to do that. Just hang in there. one of mine didn't do it for a while. I was surprised and thrilled to see him in there afterward.

They have not been together very long, maybe 3 weeks.  I will just give it some more time and see what happens.
