Although it can be done, and does all the time... there is risk to the coral.

Good luck.
I hear what you're saying Paddy, but to me, and apparently the OP, anenomes are a pain in the butt. I like that I can put my hammer wherever, and the clowns will follow. I like that I don't have to worry about my nem taking a random vacation from its home base and potentialliy destroying everything in its path. Personally, I've had no troubles with clowns and hammers. I do however see your point.
