Clown and anenome relationship

Yep.

I did once have some osilaris clowns nest in condys, but
that's very unusual. condy anemones have real potent
stings. If your clown is a percula or osilaris, I
recommend a frilly mushroom. Mushrooms don't move around
like anemones do, and they can take the abuse of the clown
fish better.

I am asking because I have a tank raised percula clown who is not
taking to my sebae or condy anemone.

thanks.

The clown/anemone relationship is genetic. Tank raised clowns will take
anemones. AS for yours first the percula clown does not normally host
in a condy or sebae.

Here is fair article on clownfish/anemone compatiblity.
