Clown pairing not working

[catfishblues]

I got a pretty large Clarkii clownfish in my 66-gallon tank. I had been wanting a pair but the color and movement on this one was so nice I decided if it didn't pair off then I'd be happy with just this clown. The lfs didn't have any males for her so the next day I got another one that is significantly smaller and put him in. She hadn't let him on the half of the tank with her anemone and would occasionally chase him on his own side, but also seemed to like to spend time near him more than the nem, just not in a pairing kind of way. after about 4 days it didn't better so I moved the nem into his territory which stopped the aggression for about a day. She slowly reclaimed the nem from him and although she does let him very close to it if he tries to get in with her she goes crazy. I managed to get her into my refugium for a timeout and moved the nem again. Will some time to let the territories belong to the submissive male help at all or is she going to continue to reject him?
