damsel hosting my anemone

I recently added a condy anemone into my tank and it seem as if my damsel has taken to it. I have two clowns in my tank, neither of them were interested in it at first, but now my damsel has taken over. Everytime any fish even gets in the vacinity of the anemone the damsel chases em away. It seems that now my clowns are acutally interested in the thing now that its taken. If i remove the damsel would the clowns possibly host?

Yes, they probably would.

Remember that clownfish are also damsels, so they're related.

Id be inclined to remove the damsel anyway. They can be agressive and mean little buggers.
