Not usually. Clown fish are immune to anemones and actually live in them and use them for protection. They also eat scraps of food that the anemone missed. If the layer of mucus that coats these fish is damaged or compromised, however, they can actually be stung and even killed/eaten. This can also happen when the fish come in first contact with an anemone. If clownfish are removed from an anemone they were previously accustomed to for extended periods, they can lose that immunity and be stung and potentially eaten. hi
