What could I get to help my clowns host? Not experienced enough for Anemones

[FeTTo]

Been in the game for 6 months now. Had 2 ocellaris, 1 leaped out a month ago after I top filled too high, so my single clown got big, and I was told most likely has turned female. Bought a nano ocellaris the other night, whos tiny so Im told he will be the male.

What could I buy to help them host? I dont think I have enough experience to keep an Anemone. My friend has had luck getting his black percula to host with his Anthia or Plusing Xenia before.

My tank has zoas and mushrooms, hammer coral, anthia, plusing xenia, so Im afraid of an anemone moving around and stinging my corals.

If theres nothing, then oh well, I just figured it would improve their personality and character, although I know you cant force them to host, as it could take a day, or a year

They will host anything they feel comfortable at. Powerheads coral a corner of a tank. Right now mine host the magnet cleaning brush

Mine uses a large star polyp covered rock. They will choose their host though. You can't force them to use what you want them to use.

some clowns wont even host. after all they don't really need to in a tank with no predators. that being said my clowns switch regularly from a frogspawn, a hammer coral and my bta.

I read somewhere that if you tape a pic of clowns with a host nem, they will figure it out. Most tank bred clowns will not host with anything. I tried it and it actually worked. They chose my large toadstool but the toadstool was not happy.

I've had them associate with xenia, frogspawn, umbrella leather, toadstool...whatever they feel protected in.
