I have 2 tank raised ocellaris clown and 1 purple tip and 1 rose bud anenome and neither clown goes near them. I was wondering if a purchased a ocellaris clown that wasn't tank raised and would go to the anenome would the other clowns follow?

Still same possibility it won't go in the anemone. It might take time for it to find the anemone or it might never. If you really want 1 to go in trade in your ocellaris for maroons, they will go right in. I have a pair of percs and ocellaris and both are ignoring my rbtas but the maroons went right in my rbta as soon as I put it in.

most likely, as soon as you introduce the 3rd one, they will started to flight! and could be two left, or worse one left.
some other advise to get pictures of clown fish hosting inside the anemone, and post it on the tank, and hopefully the clown know they can do so. (this is not a joke).
some claim this trick works, but in my case, i post it for about 2 months - nothing ...
note:
since i have 210g, so i took a chance to add 6 more clown fish (total of 8) at the same time, and hopefully, they will guide two old one how to host, and not flight, since i have so many in it now... BUT, after a week, only two left, one from old, one from the new!

well, good luck!

BTA anemones are not the natural host anemone for percula or ocellaris clown fish so they may never take to it. However my percs eventually took my RBTA after several months.In nature the percs live in trios, a mated pair and nymph all in one anemone. So I added 3 percs in my 125 all different sizes, 2", 1" and a juvenille about 1/2". Unortunately the juvenille was killed and then the remaining 2 paired up.
Two things I did to get my clowns into my anemone was feed pellet food over the anemones every time I feed to get them to hang out at that end of the tank. Second I would use my hand to gently chase the clowns towards the BTA so they would hide under it. Eventually they learned that the anemone was a safe place and haven't left since.
