It's a calculated risk really. USUALLY in a captive tank environment, the fish get used to the presence of the anemone and if stung once or twice know to avoid it in the future. There are always exceptions to the rule though. So I guess my advice is just watch it and keep your fingers crossed

Are Clownfish not immune to Anenome stings?
