Is my cc starfish safe around my Cindy/rock flower anemone
depends on which anemone.
I don't believe either of those anemone's are natural hosts to clownfish. Also, there is a good chance your condy will eat your clown if given the chance.

I don't know anything about condy's, but I agree with Hypnoj that rock flowers aren't typically a hosting anemone.
Lowest livable temp for anemones?? I'd imagine you are asking in terms of sustainable? I can't answer that, our typical anemones in the hobby seem fairly comfortable (assuming everything else is in order, light, water quality, flow etc) at normal reef temps.
As far as a random event? I had a LTA, and some maxi minis in my 180 when I went out of town in Jan 11, with the heaters unplugged, and the heat in the house went out. I came home and my reef was 65 degrees. I don't know how long it was like that, whether it was at it's lowest temp of the event, or on it's way up. Those anemones survived it, without a problem. I had a gigantea that was acclimating to the tank (2 or 3 months in, and it was looking better every day) it died.

Condylactis are not hosting anemones unless you count cleaner shrimp. I have 2 Condys (one is greenish and the other pink) and only one will host the skunk shrimp. When the second came into the system the shrimp tried but barely escaped ... they stay away from both now.
Mine are side by side in a 185g, on the bottom under 250W MH. They are reported to handle 68-79 degrees F, but my tank often creeps into the low 80s in the summer. I also have 2 RBTAs in the same tank.

I don't have lots of evidence, but I personally have had 3 different clowns host in condys. Right now I have a female cinnamon clown and a male tomato clown sharing a condy in a tank with a LTA and 2 RBTA.:hammer:
I think there have been quite a few cases where condy's hosted clowns, but it surely isn't the norm. I think for every case of a condy hosting a clown there is another case of a condy eating one. :uhoh2:

That is the most important part of this sentence. There's a difference in acclimating you tank to that range of temps and shocking them into it over a short time. Also, when your livestock is stressed from the fluctuations of a new tank, a rapid fluctuation like that can be very bad news indeed.
