do you think i can keep a bubble tip anemone?

Hi! i am a novice brit and cant find any help over here! so need help from my Americana friends!! I am currently running a tropiquarium 88 with an undergravel system feeding a rainbow fluidised filter (600 gal) and an amriacle PS-2 skimmer (which isn't skimming) and of course the biolife 55 filter. the lighting comprises two no. actinics and a triplus (modified the hood to fit it!). the livestock comprises a banded blenny, humbug damsel, percula clown? (told it was but it is maroon with white stripes half way down the body which are filled with yellow!!), a multitude of mushroom polyps, some yellow zooanthid polyps and xenia elongata (which has split into 3), a sand sifting starfish mitrax crab and a very small cucumaria miniata. All of the above lives in and around 15 kg of live rock. I would like to add a bubble tip and hopefully two more clowns to finish off a beautiful if not modest tank, is it possible? (ammonia and nitrite are zero, nitrate varies between 0 and 2.5, pH 8.2 with a high alkalinity) P.S. i would like a larger tank but house prices over here mean i am back home with the old girl! and mothers and water dont mix!! Please can anyone help or advise

 

I would have to advise against a BTA as they require a lot more light than you currently have.
How big is the Tank?

sounds like you have a yellow stripe maroon clownfish, not a percula so i wouldn't add anymore clownfish except maybe another smaller yellow stripe maroon clown but be cautious even w/ that. From what i have read and heard the maroon clowns are the most aggressive clownfish

 

Don't like under gravel filter on a reef tank.
MH lights in the future? if so then get it.

 

sorry if this is messing up your page (i.e. out of place!) but getting back to the clown.. i thought it may be a maroon but all that i have read indicates that maroons have a "spine" under the eye as well as on the gill covers??

 

sorry again.... but my one does not.

 

DO YOU HAVE A PICTURE OF THE CLOWN. I DONT THINK A YELLOW STRIPED PERCULA CLOWN EXIST SO I WOULD SAY ITS DEFINATLY NOT A PERCULA

 

HOW BIG IS THE CLOWNFISH.  THE REASON I ASK IS BECAUSE WHEN THE CLOWNFISH IS SMALL SO IS THE SPINE

 

DOES THE CLOWN LOOK LIKE THIS:

 

no pic sorry.. the clown is about an inch and a half.. if it is a yellow stripe maroon have you any idea of the latin name so i can look it up?? cheers.
