They aren't a natural host for any clowns (( wrong ocean/sea )). Some people have had their clowns hosted by them, but some people have also had their clowns eaten by them.

My Percula does. Was hosting in a sebae when I bought him. Loves the condy. Won't go near the BTA i bought for him. My mom has a perc that hosts a duncan. Go figure.

Clownfish will live in a Condy. Clownfish will host with a powerhead!! The question is, will the Condy eat the Clownfish. The answer is, probably, eventually. Condy anemones are from the Atlantic Ocean. There are NO clownfish in the Atlantic ocean. Condy anemones are fish eaters. There's a good chance that your Condy and Clownfish will take on the unnatural symbiotic relationship you're wanting. BUT, there's a good chance that, eventually, your Condy will show it's true colors and EAT your clownfish.
Take it back and buy a more appropriate anemone....IF you're sure you're ready for an anemone, which I question, since you obviously haven't done your homework and learned enough about anemones. If you had, you'd not have made this purchase. Not trying to blast you and sorry if it appears that way. Anemones are very sensitive creatures and take very specialized care. They require a very mature tank. It's important to be able to meet their needs before purchasing them, so they thrive. Your experience level says 5 months. Anemones, typically, shouldn't be added to a tank that's not mature. Mature typically means 6-12 months...with 12 months being better than 6 months.

My Tomato hosted this Condi not very long after being introduced to each other. But ended up moving the swapping clowns and nothing would host the condi again. It is not very common as others have said it is from the wrong part of the ocean.
