I think it’s so cute when beginners try spelling “anemone” by sounding it out. :)

Bubble tip anemone and ocellaris clownfish

You could try the old siphon method, it's probably alright if you know the clownfish is already used to the anemone stings?

Welcome, and time is most important. Clowns will take time to get used to a new environment. They will go back.

Bubble tip anemone and ocellaris clownfish

Bubble tips are not the natural host of most clownfish; however, as it was already hosting the clownfish at the LFS is a good sign. Do both look healthy in your tank? If so, the clown may just be exploring the new tank but could come back to the anemone.

Time. I have had clowns take 7 months to find it. They will. Are you planning to have a pair or just one? Could not tell if you bought just one or a pair from your post. Sorry.

Sorry I have one clown fish in my tank with the anemone. which the anemone was matched with the clownfish when I bought it. I put them into my fish tank and it hasn’t approached it since I put it in any tips on what I should do.? But I was thinking about buying one more clown fish and pairing them up to the anemone any tips ?

Both are now exposed to new light and environment. The anemone responds to light and water flow and likely not in the mood for the clown while it finds its happy spot
Anemone is the host and clown is the guest and until both are happy in their new setting, this will be the case for now
Moderate light and water flow for the nem

As Vettguy said.
Also, if you do want to add another clown I suggest sticking with an ocellaris. Many variations out there.
Depending on the size of the current clown, you need to get a smaller one. If it is 1" or 1.5", wait another 6 months and then get a 1" one to pair it up.
