I just got my BTA in the tank and my Maroon ClownFish is OBSESSED with it.. He never leaves it other than to eat. But he dives deep in it and never stops loving on his Nem. My question is, Can a Clown over do it with a Nem and stress it out? It is cute to watch but he is over the line of OBSESSED with it now.. Haha

They most certainly can stress and anemone out, especially if the anemone is already weak or damaged. How is the anemone doing?

Also can be tough for a smaller anemone. Best bet is it should be three times the size of the one clownfish.
