I have a pair of Percs in a LTA and another pair in a RBTA. Sometimes they just host with other corals.

I don't know if I would call it a bond, more like a security blanket fro the clowns

but it does depend on the anemone
for insatnce,
the common condylactis anemone (pink tip) is not a good choice for clowns to host in

It is a bond, or a symbiotic relationship to be more exact. The clowns provide food for and clean the anemone, and the anemone protects the clown and provides it shelter and a place to live in exchange. Whether or not they will host it, well thats entirely up to the clown.
