Two new Clownfish, distressed?

No thats okay, i think i'll give the dude who gave me the advice a miss next time i'm there. What would you reccomend i do then?

 

take it back and trade it out for something; if it dies it will kill everything in your tank and completely pollute it. Anemones are extremely sensitive to changes in water params, which is why they normally do best in older well established tanks. I made the same mistake with my LTA, i ended up lucking out, but knowing what i know now i would never take the risk again. Plus I think BTA's are little less hardy.

And on another note, there is absolutely no guarantee that they will host in the thing anyway, so really, its probably more trouble than its worth to you right now.

Hope everything turns out ok and good luck!

 

Yeah when an anemone dies, they can release toxins into the water that can whipe out an entire tank. I'd get it out of there and back to the LFS faster than ASAP. You are still cycling. The clowns should be fine, they are hardy fish and can take the beating of cycling a tank. But the anemone could be a huge problem. Normally anemones can be added after 6-12 months, but the tank is still technically young. I'd trade it out for something you can use. Store credit for a fishy when your cycling is over me thinks.

 

I'd trade it in too... I really wanted my bta... But my tank was only up about 4 months.. It went downhill from the time I put it in... I waited about another 6-7 months and my last bta ended up looking like this...

 

I would take everything back until you are finished cycling. Your ammonia levels and nitrite levels will kill if given enough time.
Also, looking at the pics, how much rock do you have in there? You are going to need about a pound a gallon for a fish only, and 1 1/2 to 2 pounds per gallon for a reef. I would also highly recommend getting a good protein skimmer.
Just take everything back, get the rock in order, get a skimmer up and going, and take it slow. and research, Research, RESEARCH everything before you buy or go any further! Unfortunately, a lot of LFS's will tell you anything you want to hear as long as it will make the sale
