    Personally, I've had a condy, red bubble-tip, and flower nems together in a 29H with no problems, although it's not a mix many would recommend.

    The issue you might have is that your clowns won't accept an anemone host, especially if they're mature and never had one or if they were tank raised. That is never guaranteed unless they were purchased together.

    Fatally. However, mine developed a habit of keeping their distance. :)

    im aware that the clowns will possibly never host anything, however id really like to give it a try with a bubble tip. I think regardless, i have to get rid of this condylactis, it is just getting so large and with the addition of a decent sized bubble tip, i can really picture them stinging eachother all day.

    that bubble tip is awfully bleached, you should have gotten a more colored out one. you should see if the lfs can still take it back or you can trade it in for a healthier looking one. but if given the right conditions even bleached ones can be nursed back to health. anemones are very resilient.

    Probably just the pic, mine was lime green and looked that way in pics. An anemone will do what it wants to do, if its getting too much light it'll move.

    the tentacles in the pic are translucent. or slightly see through meaning it is badly bleached. it will color up in a matter of time if cared for properly
