will clowns host this anemone?

[asharp13]

i been looking at getting a pair of percs and have been researching anemones. my LFS just got a Orange Tube Anemone and i absolutely love the look of it. any thoughts on if a clown and this anemone would get along?
also, does anyone know anything about these anemones? do they live in the sand bed or on the rocks? will they kill my corals?

For true percs your best bet is an LTA....My second choice would be a BTA which is not their natural host but IME they usually will. With that nem I would doubt they would host it. If they did looks like they would kill it anyways. You can order one online if your LFS dont carry them regularly

Clowns can host anything....however they can also totoally ignore it too. You will have the best chances with a natural host to the clowns however in that size tank really only an LTA will be ok...Thats why I would secondly recommend a BTA...
