So how big should my clowns be before I can put an anemone in the tank with them? Some are still a half inch some are an inch. Do the anemones still know its not a snack when they are that small?

At any time; the baby clowns live in the anemone also. Main thing is to make sure your tank is ready for the anemone.

I agree I got 2 1/2 inch baby naked ora clowns and that very same night i got them i got the anem and that night they were sleeping in it. It will be okay. I have pics
The anem is much bigger than in this pic its just tucked in the rock because the lights are out.

well these guys are way smaller but I have faith. One of my rbtas just split again so I think I'll put one of them in the qt tank with the babies.

I'm pretty sure size has nothing to do with the nem not eating the clown. It has more to do with the mucus on it's skin. Clowns do not have the same chemicals on the mucus other fish have that let the nems know they're food. The mucus is also thicker. That's what I read anyway.
