whats your lighting? how old is tank?
what kind or anemone?
if all these question have good answers then maybe if the clowns are the same kind and brought in at the same time

As long as it was 2 clowns and one anemone that split into 2.
Otherwise don't mix species of clowns, least thats my advise. I've seen it done though, sometimes with bad results.

As an example, Bubble tip anemones split by fission, one day you wake up and there are two. I started with one over 4 years ago, I have about 12 or 13 now. Here are several on one rock.

Way to go Thomas you know your doing something right when you have something as delicate as an anemone splitting. P.S. I would be trading though for something els or selling lol you have quite a few.
I agree dont mix speciese of clowns they will fight. And dont mix species of Anemone's they will fight also. You have to have high output lighting before getting an anemone and it has to be a good size tank "not huge but say a 10 or 15 gallon would probly be to small for the anemones for sale to the hobbiest".

get 2 percs and 1 anenome not 2
percs pair up. therefore why get 2 anenomes if they both host one only? they arent going to split up and each have their own.
edit: carpet anenomes or bubble tip would be ok

in a 20 gallon I would go with a mini carpet. There smaller and wont grow as big as the big carpets or bubble tip. The reg carpets and bubble tip reach around 12 inches "if im thinking of the right one" and the mini carpets wont get as big as them.
