Clowns don't really host birdsnests, but they do sometimes try to host clams, but it's not really the best situation always.
You can try a RBTA, it looks like you have the space for it, given that picture.

I have tried rosebulbs, lta, and sabae.. For some reason i can't keep keep those pretty creatures.. but my clowns are trying to host in something bad. Won't they host in xenias?

I have seen clowns in long tentacle plate corals, torch corals and elegance corals (the latter being a difficult coral to look after I understand).

tong tentacle plate corals i tried those.. haha my flow is too strong for those. torch corals are out of season for those.. whenever i get a anemone the clowns most def try to host it.. i test my water levels i'm ok.. i even get petstores to test we get the same readings.. just i can't keep em happy..my clowns now are hosting in the cabbage.. cabbage must be getting mad cos it's not opening up like it used to.

Hammer coral, maybe your clowns would go in, it would have to be big enough though probably for them to like it.
Toadstools are another big one I think people have their clowns in.

We have a mated pair of Percs. The female started hosting in our Torch coral almost immediately. It looks similar to an anemone. Ironically, the male moved in to our Alveopora, and later the female joined him. She goes back and forth, though. I'd recommend the Torch.

My maroon clown hosts in pearl bubble coral. I have other corals, but this is what he likes best.
