Clown hosting overflow pipe help?

I have a pair of clowns that I got from my cousin. 1 is black and white the other is orange and white. They were hanging around the over flow pipe in his tank and are doing the same thing in mine. I got a couple different anemones (bta, carpet) and they don't seem interested in either one. It has been 4-5 months maybe longer. Are they just used to hanging around the over flow and don't want to host the nem?
 
I'm thinking you have ocellaris, based on the colors you describe. If the anemones aren't natural hosts (BTAS aren't natural hosts for ocellaris, and gigantea is the only natural carpet host), it may take a long while, if they ever go to the anemone. I don't see where you say they are captive bred, but in my experience that makes absolutely no difference in terms of willingness to be hosted. Having a natural host makes lots of difference in their willingness to be hosted.
