    I think it is possible, but more likely if not tank raised.

    I have had clowns host in my hammer. The Hammer was not impressed. It would not open all the way and suffered for it. I eventually got a BTA and the clowns moved to it

    Get a frog spawn rather then a anemone .. We have a pair that host in a clam.. :) they swim right in then swim around and hang out then one will peek out the clams Intake and poke their face out. They will hose on and in anything that they find attractive to them.. And only they know what they consider attractive :) I'd try to avoid a anemone myself they always want to set down to close to something far more valuable and or nicer..

    yeah i have acctually really wanted a frog spawn just cause they are really cool looking, will the frog spawn hurt anything in the tanK? my black sadlle back clowns are hosting my green carpet, but i am going to sell the carpet soon.
