Give him time to host. It could take a while.
What kind of clown do you have? What kind of anemone?

If he's not eating, try soaking some brine shrimp in garlic. Not the most nutritious food, but it may start him eating.

i have two anemones one is a green bta and the other is a pink Haitian. its a Percula Clown fish. i heard that brine is like crack for clowns once they eat it its hard for them to eat anything else is that true.
