How do I get my Clowns to host
I have 2 clown fish which i bought A large Anemone. The clowns wont go near it. I was thinking of putting the clowns and the rock with the attached anemone in a quarantine tank. Do you think this will get the clowns to tough it and still host it when I move back to my 32g biocube?

What type of clowns and what type of anemone? Having a natural host for the clowns help. If you don't know the type a picture would help. Some clown fish will accept a non-natural host anemone but its not always a guarantee, and do not force or confine them in order to go into the anemone.

I haven't tried this myself, but I have heard that the best way is to put the clowns and nem together in a small space. Do this by placing the clowns and the nem in a sieve on top of the tank. Something like this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oND6dgi8TaI

You have a 32g, that is plenty small enough that they will find it, give it time, especially if it's not a natural match host
