Mating a Maroon Clown

I want to remove my maroon clown from my DT and mate him. I have a tank setup, lights, and now I'm thinking of next steps. I'm thinking:

1) Move Anemone to tank (I have 4 Rose BTA's, so I'll pick one).
2) Find a juvie and add him to the tank.
3) Wait a week.
4) Capture the Maroon and introduce her to the tank.

Assuming the above is correct, then should i just pop the adult maroon in and hope the shock of a new environment is a enough that they will settle in together?

Or, Should I find a clear container and try to get the two to see each other first?

btw, the adult maroon does fine in the DT. She seems to be friends with a few damsels, and doesn't show any aggressive behavior. Also, she loved it's aemone, but I didn't know how to take care it then, so it died. I think she'd go gaga if she had a new anemone to roll in.

The aquarium is plumbed together, so there isn't any acclimation issues.
 
Acclimation container is safest way to intro.
It should be pretty obvious if she accepts male or not, by either looking curious, or mad as heck.
