I want to get some clowns...I want to get a pulsing xenia...would the clown go in there? Do clowns have to be wild to go into an anemone..or anything?
Do they have to be wild?

Well, there is no guarantee a clown will host xenia. I have had one host xenia, among other corals. The thing with tank-bred clowns is that they can eventually lose that instinct, so your best bet for a clown that hosts something would be wild-caught.

Mine hosted a striped mushroom, and they're tank bred. I think that the instinct of the captive bred/raised clowns might lean towards hosting SOMETHING, but not specifically anemones while you may have better luck with ones caught in the wild (of course I don't advocate that, if you can get a fish captive-bred, you should, imo). I had hoped mine would host a frogspawn but when they went for the mushroom it was more or less just something to smile at, the neat way they like hiding under it, etc.

It is best to by tank breed clowns for health reasons. As mOnk said, they have a natural instinct to host.
