mine dont want anything to do with it.
I have two tank bred perculas in my one tank with the coni anemones and a yellow sebea and they want nothing to do with it.
In my other tank I have a clarkii clown and it loves the sebea I have and wants nothing to do with the condi, actually when he first started lookin around the tank he bumped into the condi and freaked out I think it stung him I dont know much about it all I am just telling oyu what my fish do :)

condis can but usually dont host clowns. They come from waters without clown fish so its just not natural. A long tentical or bubble anemony is best for hosting

True
It took my two very persistant clowns to tame the beast.

congrats, i tried once to get my clown to host, but she just rejected all types. Long tip, bubble ,rose, all of them. I sold the anemonies after she died. Eaten by my dwarf lion that i then sold. I now have a beautiful conda with really purple arms. And im hoping my sexy shrimp will host it. Not much hope for him if he doesnt.

That sounds like a bummer, I would get the other one off the heater for sure. Anemones don't do well if sudden changes like temperature. Only problem with condi's is their sting, the pack a pretty good punch. I lost my dwarf angel to the anemone I have now, and it has tried to take my fire shrimp a few times. When I first introduced it to my tank even my clowns were very warry of it. They would approach, then get stung and return immediatly until they were accepted.

yeah one started eating one of my clowns and stuned the othere one where he couldnt move and he died and one of my othere fish started eating him ... so i lost 2 clonws and 2 Anemones ................. so that sucked big time..... and i did a 20 % water change after the Anemones died.... and these fish died....
