Slim chance, This is an anemone that is not chosen often by clowns, some will, but not often. The condi was my first mistake anemone, after that I got a BTA, even that was touch and go for a while, almost two years later it has split into three with two very happy false percs.

Ive had two condies now, and neither one has had my perculas love. It is very hard to find i good host for a perc, they have their own personality. But then again thats what makes this hobby amazing. A clown doesnt necessarily have to have an anenome, its more of a safety zone it can hide in. But a good anenome to try might be a sebae, or a carpet anenome. Also they will host in polyps and mushrooms. HTH good luck, tell me if you have any success with the condy

man, thats too bad. hopefully mine will be one of the few.. i have seen him make attempts to go in it but at the last seconds it will turn its head and swim away...is that good or bad...if so is it a bad idea to get maybe a carpet anemone? its a 20 gal. tank.

No way on the carpet, certainly a beautiful creature, but they grow very large and have been known to eat other fish. A 20 is way to small for a carpet. They can also sting your other corals to death. A BTA or Bubble Tip Anemone would be better.
What is your current lighting.
