Its better they host something else did you know anemones live to 300 + years in the wild.
In captivity 3-5 months best case for most. Sebae has an expected live span of only a year in captivity under pristine conditions.
Not wanting to sound negative or tell you what to do but knowledge in this hobby is important.
I think they should be left in the wild as if there are no anemone the clown fish will not survive only a mating pair makes it in the wild after laying eggs for their whole lives as few make it to maturity, and in the wild they need the anemone to survive as they are slow and easy pray. In captivity they don't need this as we take care of them.
My 2 cents
