Macrodactyla doreensis, Long Tentacle Anemone - Natural symbionts are Clark's and Pink Skunk clownfishes; in aquarium often accepted by Maroon, Bluestripe and Tomato clowns, as well.
Even with the above information anything is possible, it will be up to the clownfish itself. There are no guarentee's that any clown will take to any anemone.
If you try it please post your results.

Here's my pair of true percs in a LTA

Greg, a beautiful shot, but is that really an LTA? interesting coloration on it.
What color is the column of the anemone?
Clean the glass, take a shot of that anemone and let me use it as a screen saver.
Gorgeous

Thanks,
The glass isn't dirty that is actually my dragon wrasse in the bottom left of the pic. When I originally bought this LTA about 7 months ago he was brown with a little bit of green in him. A little over a month ago he started to change color and turned that amazing blue color. I've had a few people over including my LFS owner and they've never seen anything like it. I just hope he stays that way. Anyways I attached a few pics e mail me if you want Hi-Res Shots.

Oh, and by the way Matt I think you may have more luck having the clowns host if they are younger. True percs are really supposed to be in carpet anemones but I've noticed younger ones host easier. I was going to get a carpet but they are not good to have in the tank with my shark.

Thanks for all the info I really like your LTA but I dont have enough lighting for a carpet so this is just as good as an alternative. Now I got to get the little ones to pair up.
