nope no anemone's.
however in that second pick you see a very large 5 inch saddle back that thinks that large leather under him is his host.
thats why its all closed up.
i have moved the leather since this pick and it is very happy i did. the clown leaves it alone in its new space.
never liked the idea of keeping an anemone. eveyr time i go to buy one i talk myself out of it. clowns dont need em and the risk of one killing off my whole tank if it died seems not worth it.
i dont keep
sea apples
cucumbers
or anemones

it is not a matter of the tang living or not
more about what is best for the fish.
on the reef they have HUGE swimming areas. and they go up and down the reef all day.
just becasue it is small does not mean it swims less.
they swim just as much as the bigger ones they just take up less space while they do it.
will it live ?? yea
will i advise a newbee to keep one in a tank smaller then a 125/150 ? NEVER

when an anemone dies the release a heavy toxin into the tank that can kill many of the things in your tank.
if you happen to be home and see it happen you can do a fast water change and lessen the damage however i'm not willing to take that risk.
also what lighting do you plan to use???
as for the hawk i dont know. never kept one so i have never read up on them.
a god rule of thumb is to read up on EVERYTHING BEFORE you buy it. never go into a store and buy somthing on impulse
go home think it over and read up on it. then if you feel it is right for your reef go back and get it

my friend you have ALOT of reading to do
an anemone will be dead VERY quickly under NO lighting.
do yourself a favor and go purchase a reef keeping book.
do a search on SWF and you will find many great ones recomended. read it then make your purchase plan
you will be VERY gald you did.
the reason most people think salt water keeping is so hard is due to the lack of research. if you do your research and buy the right stuff the first time yu will find it really no harder then fresh. just takes alittle more time. and of course money

they can anchor themselfes down after a short period of time, they will attach themselves to the rock, if you are using the two part mix thing i told you, then you don't have to do anything, but you can also use a rubber band or something like that to tie it down until it anchors itself to the rock, you can cut off the rubber band off, and it will be attached
p.s. does this make any sense?

i'm serious, i just tie mine down with rubber band until it anchors itself down and then i cut off the rubberband
but do what ever, you don't have to believe me, lol
my better advice, call a marine fish store and ask them, the people at my local marine fish store tie theirs down with rubber bands until it's anchored
