I know clowns don't generally take rock nems as a natural host, but I've seen them do some pretty unnatural things...(taking powerheads as a host is pretty common...and unnatural). I'm thinking about getting a few flower/rock nems, but I was wondering IF my clowns decide to cozy up to them are they safe, or will they become a meal?
 
Occasionally I have had the rouge clown that dived into an unfamiliar anemone and became a snack.

And here there is a video of a Cinnamon clown residing in a Rock Anemone happily.



When I kept Rock Anemones and clowns there was never an issue, but my clowns avoided the anemones. I think the risk is minimal but still present.
