Low but their sting is a little stronger. While diving, ive seen sebae clowns in condy anemone and no issues
 
If I told you 50% or 10% or 2%, would that make a difference? For some people, even a 1% chance of an anemone killing a clownfish is enough to convince them to get rid of it.

The answer is that none of us can tell you whether or not the condy will kill your clownfish, just that it's a possibility. Since condys are a Caribbean species, they don't have any interaction with clownfish, which is why it's believed that may, or may not, eat your clownfish. However, it's been reported with some consistency that they have eaten clownfish to a higher degree than other anemones.

LOL that's what we're here for (okay fine, what I'm here for, and I'm in a snarky mood).
 
Wait, what? Where were you diving where you saw a clown (any clown for that matter) in a condy?
Nassau Bahamas
