ok.. i bought a sabae anemone for my sabae clowns.. as soon as i put the anemone in the tank.. there came running the clowns and both jumped right in it.. well.. needless to say the clownfish won't give it a break.. i'm concerned they might damage or kill it.. this morning when i woke up i found the anemone with tencles down and foot up in the air. should i be worried. or is this normal behavior.. i also feed some krill to my fish.. and the clowns are trying to feed the anemone but it's refusin to eat. it holds on it .. but then the clownfish will come back and take it and play with it some more than place it back.. is this normal?

If you are saying the anemone was upside down that is not very healthy for it. If it will not stick to anything, you could try to put it in a speciment box and let it heal for a bit (fashion a way to keep the fish away until it gets healthy. The fish seems to like it, so I'd be in no hurry to let them get to it. Focus on etting it healthy first.
If you are handy, you could also make a pvc or acrylic partition to keep the fish way from it (divide the tank)

Keep an eye on the mounth, use a turkey baster if you have to to swirl the water away from it so you can look. If the tentacles are guarding the mounth so well, it probably is closed and ok. It may take time for it to eat, When you feed it, try to place the food very close to the mouth (it know, it can be hard) and you probably want to keep the clown fishes away (putting a empty strawberry basket over it works).

These anemones are tricky and need a lot of tlc until they get stablished, and recover from the stress of capture, etc

How big are these fish?
