Not recommended. especially for a newbie. Most anemones will nearly fill a 10 when they are grown. Also its tough to keep the water parameters in check and perfect conditions in a 10. I wont even touch on the subject of chemical warfare.

There are no M.doreensis ( AKA long tenticle anemone,aka LTA) in the gulf/Caribbean. Its condilactus. Since there are no clowns in th ecarribean, the clowns could very well be in danger. Not as much with this species (condalactus) of carribean anemone, as with others such as S.helenthus...

I probably have better pics, but this is the first that I could find

condilactus

Some people have gotten away with it, but I would definitely recommend against it. Especially with Clarkki that are established with their anemone. They will be very territorial and with the tank being 4' long they will surely spot the new arrivals and all heck will break lose. The clarkki will...

that would be my guess too. Maroons can be brutal on an anemone. a rule of thumb is for the anemone to be 3 times larger than the clown.

It would be chemical warfare, but I believe that if the tank is large enough and if you run good carbon aggressively or ozone that threat of chemical warefare between anemones might be a little over exaggerated.

Small pieces of un-cooked, un-processed shrimp from the grocery store (thawed and rinsed with RO water) or small peices of a silver side.Or mysis shrimp. Nothing too big

She is just cleaning the yard that her anemone is in . Some say its sexual frustrations

Its not very common, but there is someone out there that breeds a maroon with a perc. One of my maintenance accounts has an occelaris and a maroon in a 75 with no issues. That being said, I would never recommend mixing a maroon with a perc or any other clown, but yes, it is possible. Good luck

BTA is not a natural host for percs, but I can think of hundreds of BTAs that host percula clownfish. When baby clowns (percs) leave my place, they often leave here with BTAs. Before the bucket (with 2 clowns and anemone) even leaves the front door, the clowns have found their host and are...

Nitrates?? I am assuming that you are using some type of bio filtration on that tank since I dont see much live rock. If thats the case, you will need to keep an eye on your nitrates.I am assuming that they are at least at 20ppm, because most of the bio filters are designed to produce nitrates...
