My clowns finally found my anemones, but the anemones I have are rather new and rather small. I have a larger clownfish and a baby clownfish sharing one of the anemones, the other ran for cover under a rock. Should I be worried about how they won't leave or smother the anemone?
 
Keep an eye on the 'nem. They can over love anemones. Look for shrunken tentacles, the nem expelling zooxanthelle (this will be dark goo. And the nem will start losing its flouresence).
 
What species of clowns? What species of anemone?
What size are the clowns? What size is the anemone?

You might have to separate them, or put a strawberry basket over the anemone.
I have seen clowns "love" an anemone to death.
