So i've had a condylactis anemone in my tank for a few months with no intent of adding a clown until yesterday on a whim I picked up a saddleback. Initially my yellowtail damsel was not pleased and was a little bullyinsh, however the saddleback is nearly twice the size and the yellowtail eventually figured out to leave it alone.

I came in this morning and the saddle back is swimming through the tentacles of the condy and trying very hard to be hosted by it, the condy doesn't seem overly excited about it as he is not fully opened.

I know the condys do not typically host, however if the saddleback is adamant and just decides to hang out in the tentacles, can this cause problems?
 
It shouldn't. But sometimes clownfish can get a little too rough with a nem and damage it.
