It all depends on them, in some cases the anemone may never host them.

Sometimes right away. Sometimes never. There's no guarantee that a clown will host an anemone. A lot of times, they choose to host a heater, powerhead, rock or coral instead. Sometimes taping a picture of a clown to the glass near the anemone helps.

I put a glass cup in my tank the other day to hold a frag of my anthelia tree until I could glue it to a rock.
This morning when I turned on the light the clown was down in the cup chillin! LOL
He is goofy and fun

He's probably pooping. No worries.

I would not worry about it unless it detaches, spits out its guts, has a gaping mouth or turns white. Shrinking and expanding is normal, especially if it has eaten recently.

I think he is just bleached mine was like that at first too. He will find a rock he likes eventually but he looks fine to me.

It looks bleached. A white anemone is not a healthy anemone, but the good news is that it can recover from that with good water quality, good lighting and occasional feeding.

I found this pic of mine the day I first got it. Very white and pretty but then it turned a little more brownish like in my other pic after a couple of weeks. Its probably just from stress.
