maroon clowns are some of the roughest clowns with their host anemones. This is not unheard of and typically you need a anemone that is at least 3x's larger than the clown it is hosting but with some maroons I have heard of even bigger recommendations. There are a ton of forum posts and blogs about this particular issue and unfortunately your anemone may not survive the love assault keep a close eye on it and if it starts looking bad, going inside out, detaching from it's surface, or "dissolving" in the water column you will have to pull it before it pollutes your tank. In the meantime if you have a separate tank or some type of divider you can place in the tank to keep the clown away from it while it attempts to recover that would not be a bad idea. good luck and keep us posted

Agreed. The clown is getting a taste for it, which allows it to host in it if the anemone can handle the initial assault.
