Rose anemone and Gold bar maroon clown fish

[Chaotic Reefer4u]

Is it possible for my clown fish to bother and smother my Rose anemone?
The clown fish is always bugging him, does the anemone mind all this Harassment?
Any thoughts. . .

well it depends on sizes. If the clown is mature and you have a tiny anemone, the clown can certainly harm it.

What I did when I brought home my anemone (which was in a larger sample cup) was to put a piece of the netting I use for keeping fish in the tank (1/4" gap plastic mesh from BRS) over the cup and secure with a rubber band. This helps give the anem some time to acclimate without bother and if it were to release right away I wouldn't need to worry about getting in the vortech. Once it looked happy (~ 1 week), I took of the mesh and let the clown play.
