After reading about all the bad things a live or dead anemone can do to your tank, I'm thinking about trying a elegance coral/ clownfish combo. Any experience out there?

I have asked this question before in another forum. Most people said, don't do it, you will lose your coral. One of the reasons is, because some clowns will love their host to death. Then other people say its ok as long as you get a hardy aussie elegance coral it will be fine. True percula clowns are known to be a most gental anemone fish on their hosts. You never know with these clowns, they could be like my ocellaris. My ocellaris like to use the sand as a host or pest algae if I have any.
Here is my female ocellaris diving into some pest algae that she claimed as a home untill we removed the algae. I think I took this video of her about a year ago.

I have given up finding an anemone for these two..they are perfectly happy without one.
