Anemone's need a stable system to live in, and a mature system is more stable than a new system.
Clowns do not need an anemone to survive. There are a couple of species that will naturally host to an anemone, some will learn and some will never learn.
Most fish have the instinct to stay away from them.
I have 3 of them in my tank, I've never had problems with mine eating anything that it wasn't supposed to.
What kind of lighting do you have over the tank?
