certain Clownfish might host in a "Condy" (or "candy") anemone. It's not a natural symbiosis- Clownfish occur in the tropical Pacific and your anemone was collected in the tropical Atlantic.
In short- this is not a good match.
Clarkii and Tomato Clowns are most likely the species to attempt a Condy.

I've had a condy in my tank for quite some time with maroon clown and they get along fine, but he does not "host" in it. If you are looking for a host, bubble tip is sure fire.

I have a condy and all my clowns do is bite it. Damn clowns.

Condys are nice for tanks with not enough light to hold BTAs and LTAs.

My Condy likes to scare me and shrivel up like crazy but its been doing fine for the past month since i bough it.

No complaints here.

They like to eat a lot and will get big. I feed it two peices every week on the same day: part of a silverside and some shrimp. I turn around for a second and the fish is gone inside its mouth.

I do know however that Condys dont usually last very long in captivity but if they conditions are right, they will split.

Condys do have a certain way about them. My clowns tried to swim in it and it kinda slapped them with its tentacle to say "Hey, I know what the hell you are but, no, you are not coming in.
