Can Clownfishes host RBTA while sexy shrimp in it?

[MakomekTVN]

I have a pair of sexy shrimp that's hosting my RBTA 24/7 and only go out when feeding time. I bought a pair of juvenile frostbite clownfish a week ago and they seem to ignore it, will they ever host with those shrimp in there or they'll kick the shrimp out when they want to host?

No, clownfish can't host any anemone regardless if the anemone hosts a shrimp or not.

Lol I have it all backward. I don't know what I'm thinking at that time.

Guess I'll buy a small regal tang and see and if my RBTA will host him.

Clownfish will just chase the shrimp out. Large clowns may even eat them.

It's not a natural match for occs, so it may take a bit to recognize what it is, but the shrimp should be no big deal, I've had sexy's and clowns sharing nems before, as well as porcelain crabs and anemone shrimp.
