In that case, no you do not need 2 anemones. If the clowns are paired they will most likley share one. If they are not paired and one decides to choose an anemone host it will most likley be the dominate fish, and she probably wont share. In that case if you want them both to have an anemone you may need 2. But that is something you would have to decide after you see how they respond to one. That is if they take to an anemone at all, it sometimes never happens.

That only means that no one fish has established dominance yet. Very common at LFS when they have a tank full of anemone fish. They rarley pair up at that point and no one fish will dominate the entire tank of fish. Once their numbers are reduced then you will see one start to claim territory and dominance, and pair. But by that time they are usually all sold or a new shipment is in and they add them to the tank. But for now the anemone is fair game and every fish will enjoy it.

yeah i see the dominance thing goin on in my tank right no... it's right here next to the computer... they pretty much don't fight but the one does tense up when the other goes after him...(which is rare)

No its not rare you have a smart male, he is submitting before the beatings begin. The one that tenses up will remain the male the other will eventually turn female.
