Hard to find host for Ocellaris Clown?

[sump]

I have read Ocellaris Clowns are harder than to find a host anemone for than some other clowns, is that true?

nope

With the tank raised/bred, they're hit or miss whether or not they'll host right away if at all.

I had a tank bred Ocellaris that hosted in my goniopora (see my gallery) for a year before going into a much larger GBTA and even then spent most of its time in the coral.

After I moved the goniopora into a planted tank (about 3yrs later) the clown stopped hosting at all, so I moved it as well.

It's kind of misleading to say that it's just the tank bred fish that are hit or miss on hosting...more accurately it's hit or miss on ALL clowns and hosting. Some species host more readily than others, but I doubt it has much to do with whether or not they're captive bred. Nothing guarantees that any individual clown will host in captivity.

I used to have a pair of them hosting in a huge sebae anemone

Do you think most clowns will eventually host or its 50/50 or even less than that.
I'm asking cause I saw a saddleback pair at a LFS that hosted right away in a sebae, and I'm thinking of just getting them if finding clowns that will host is too hit and miss.
Otherwise I would have waited longer till my sebae was a bit bigger.
