You should count your blessings MM...Quite a few clowns have no interest at all with an anemone....Great news to hear they have taken to it this quickly...Look forward to seeing pictures of it... :)

My clown pretty much jumped into mine right after it was added as well.
It seemed like it was being rough with it and beating it up to let it stay too.
After a day or two of following the nem around the tank until it found a home, the nem found a spot and really opened up.
They are now living together peacefully with the clown feeding it and both seem relaxed. That is until you put your hand or anything near the nem, then the clown headbutts whatever it is.

This is before it found a "home".

My Maroon clown followed my RBTA around till it settled on a rock..it did host as soon as the RBTA hit the water and it rubbed in it alot at first , i assume it is to get the slime built up to not get stung

my clown chases off my sixline wrasse and lets my tangs swim all around it , my yellow watchman goby is camped right under the rock it is on with no problems..my cleaner shrimp hangs out on the same rock too and the clown just stares it down...i have been attcked on many occasions lol
