Your clowns won't get eaten by the carpet (ok, there IS a chance) But anemones host clownfish.. and other damsels. This is why your clowns wont be eaten... because there is a symbiosis between the anemone and clownfish
The acception would be if the clowns are new to the environment. Even though clowns have a natural symbiosis with anemones, it does take time for them to adapt to the "sting", especially if you are dealing with carpet anemones. The Carpet probably didn't recognize the clowns as partners yet, so it ate them. Just my theory.
