New GBTA- my clowns aren't going near it

[ReefGirlSara]

I just bought a very nice GBTA at my LFS. I've had my pair of percs for about 4 months, and they have sort of been hosting in my candy cane corals. I finally found a nice looking anemone I could afford, but they won't even go near it. I placed it close to where they usually hang out, but they are really keeping their distance.

Any ideas?

Patients, just give it a little time

well, it's been 3 days, so I guess it's not 'just bought' exactly, but I was just wondering if I should do anything differently.

You can't force them to host. Some will take days, weeks, or months if they ever host.
My percs haven't hosted their nem and it's been more than a year since I put it in.
But you could try moving their candy cane to the opposite side of the tank and seeing if they move into the nem.
