And of course some clown fish do a better job of
protecting the enemone, than other clowns. Percula
and Ocellaris are less aggressive than other clowns.

That's not true. Clownfish *will* protect their anemone.

And since there are nudibranches for different types of Cnidaria, the
clownfish does not know that the bergia is not a type that will eat the
clownfish's host.

Clownfish will not kill a berghia near it's anemone. Berghia a very
small, nocturnal and absolutely no threat to a fish or their anemone.
