    Flower/Beaded Anemone

    I had one of these in the past. They do not do well if you have another anemone in the tank (or within 3 feet) they will fight each other (by releasing chemicals in the water) and more often then not this anemone loses.

    Also called a Flat Zebra/beaded Anemone

    The Beaded Sea Anemone has been found in nature hosting the following 7 Clownfish species:
    •Clark's Clownfish
    •Allard's Clownfish
    •Three-Band Clownfish
    •Orange-fin Clownfish
    •Barrier Reef Clownfish
    •Two-Band Clownfish
    •Mauritian Clownfish

    But not the often sought after percula clownfish or ocellaris clownfish
