Clowns have not taken to anemone

I have 2 true perc clowns that i purchased with my tank (175 bowfront). I have had the tank for about 2 months. The previous owner had it for around 5 years but im not sure how old the clowns are. I purchased an anemone which i think is a M. doreensis. I figured my clowns would take right too it since i set it up in their corner but they haven't.

What type of anemone would these clowns take to the best or is there a way to get them in this one?

That is a pretty bleached M. doreensis, and it should be on/in the sandbed.

Those clowns actually appear to be A. ocellaris -- though I have had that species hosted by an M. doreensis in the past.
 
The pic of the anemone was when i first put him in the tank. He has settled on the sand bed somewhat between two rocks. He dug his hole and seems to be happy and fully open.

Sorry about the clowns. the girl at the LFS said they were true percs after i show her a picture. So which type of anemone would they most likely host?
