    Based on this, I would say: anemone hosts clown fish!

    The clown goes to the anemone.....the anemone is the host (or hostess ;D) much like when you're invited to a party the people doing the inviting are your hosts. If the party came to you then you'd be the host (or hostess ;D)

    If the anemone were to go to the clown then we have a different ballgame :p.

    Are we confused yet?

    Cam, think you nailed it. Looks like universal agreement. - from now on, the anem is the host.

    One who is a recipient of hospitality at the home or table of another.

    Could it not be the anemone who is actualy the guest in his/her own self, as its the fish that often feeds and cleans the anemonies

    The Fish is a stalker that just invites himself in, not really being hosted :)
