True Perc Question

Just need a quick question from some experienced clownfish keepers: I have a pair of true perculas. My female, I've had for about 4 years and my smaller male for about a year. I also had a Coral beauty 4 years. I have a 46g bowfront. From the time I introduced the smaller clown my coral beauty kept them up in the upper right hand corner of my tank next to my powerhead. They pretty much only ventured out at feeding time. Any other time, I'd see the beauty chase them back to the corner. I've finally had enough of my beauty. After much deliberation and sadness I decided to give her away. They have a beautiful home. Some soft corals, beautiful Sebae anenome (wich i bought white and nursed back to health) lots of live rock. My question is how do I get them to leave that corner? its been about a coouple weeks and all they ever do is stay in the corner. Now my tank looks empty except for the corals. everynow now and then they venture away but then right back. Any advice? should I take them out and reintroduce them to the tank again? Sometimes my bigger female host the Anemone at night but she's right back up in the corner in the daytime. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Put your hand in the tank, wave it aroung for a bit. The clowns will feel threaten and will look for safe place which is the anemone. I would not do this with Haddoni or Gigantea but Sebae is not know to eat clown fish.
