The questioner has his terms confused and arouynd the wrong way: it would make more sense if it was something like " Is the Anglican communion protestant?"

A "Protestant" refers to someone and/or organization who came out of the Roman Catholic Church "in-protest" at the Reformation, and one of these organizations was the Church of England, which is also known as the Anglican Church.

All Anglicans are Protestant, but not all Protestants are Anglican. Just as different churches can be likened to different Football clubs but all their individual members are all known as footy players, so members of individual church "clubs" which came out "in-protest" are known as Protestants, and just as Football is definitely not the same as Rugby, and Football came out of Rugby, so Protestantism came out of Roman Catholicism.

Can an Anglican take communion in a Maronite church?

.Catholic AnswerOf course not, an Anglican is a protestant, a Catholic Church is Catholic. An Anglican may receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church after completing RCIA classes and being brought into the Church at the Easter Vigil, but if they wish to remain an Anglican, they are, by that very fact, proclaiming that they are not in communion with the Catholic Church, so to receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church would be a lie and dangerous to their spiritual well-being. Aside from all that, Catholics to not "take" Holy Communion, they "receive" Holy Communion.
