I recently set up a 20 gallon tank in my daughter's second grade classroom.
Approx 10 lbs live rock
1 - Condylactic Anemone
1 - Clarkii Clown
1 - Blue Damsel
1 - Domino Damsel
3 - Chromis
1 - Banded Coral Shrimp
3 - Turbo Snails
3 - Bumble Bee Snails
1 - Monster Blue Legged Hermit
3/4 - Small hermits
1 - Chocolate chip star

Anyway, I was doing a small water change yesterday and witnessed the Clarkii "lovin" the condy. I was a bit surprised (although I learned a long time ago not to be very surprised by anything that happens in my tanks). I realize this is not normal - but is it common?
A friend recently purchased a fire clown that also took to his condy right away.

I had a gold stripe maroon host to a condy. It took it a couple weeks to discover it, but once it did, it hardly left it. I think the GSMs constant harassment eventually let to the death of the condy. It was pretty funny though to watch the GSM lay on top of the completely retracted anemone which was no bigger than a quarter.

My perc is hosting in my condy now.  Eventhough I have two carpet anemones (one eats fish, they other I' don't know) and xenia.  He just loves that condy.

I put a small condy in my tank knowing that the 2 Tomato Clowns would not mess with it.  Sure enough both of them wanted to host in it.  Unforunately I think the eagerness with which they hosted in it killed it.
