trying to get clownfish to host

I have been trying to get my 2 ocel clownfish to pick a host in my 55gal. I have had the clownfish for about a month and have several corals i thought they might host in- toadstool, white xenia, frogspawn, leather. It appears that they have chosen my cleaning magnet I had left in there on accident. I tried placing the corals near where they hang out, feeding them near the corals, and tried taping a pic of a clownfish in a coral to the tank. Does anyone have any other tips or tricks? I thought about removing the magnet and maybe moving around the things in the area where they hang out (HOB filter, powerheads, etc) so they are forced to find a new place, but would that stress them out?
 
the clownfish will choose where it wants to be, other than using a natual host anemone for the specific type of clown you have there really isn't much you can do but cross your fingers and wait.
 
Take your frogspawn, place it by the magfloat for a couple days real close, then pull the magfloat, see if that does anything.
