Only answer based on information u provided is : only anemone can host, not clown.

And now: if u provide type of clown and info about your tank, than we can maybe help you.

Yes anemones host, clownfish associate. Clownfish choose to associate only with certain species of anemone; as mentioned, if you provide both, we can figure out if you have the right "pairing". Some clownfish never associate with anemones although they will pick a place to call "home".

Years ago I did done reading about this... People who had problems with this were taping a picture of a clown in an anemone to their tanks facing inward. After a few weeks many of them grasped the concept and found the anemone. I never had to try this, so I can't really tell you how effective it is. It sounds completely ridiculous, but it might be worth a shot
