Why not split the ones you have currently, let them heal and toss them on your rockwork. Will save loads of money, unless you're already doing that.

U can cut them in 1/2 as that’s what there naturally doing ripping apart a clone. But that looks like a quad color BTA the green oral disk up 2 oramge tips and 2 color mix’s between so called quads. Rainbows are rare and some company’s call quads rainbows. This is a rainbow so u know and don’t get run around.

very cool tank. I'm looking forward to seeing more of then when you get your fish. This will be impressive when the anemones grow and fill out the tank.

Time for another update!! Added more rainbow BTA's yesterday, bringing the total count to 17 BTA's in my tank. 2 of the rainbows are 3-4" range, and the 3rd is suppose to be around the 12" size!! All 3 still haven't fully inflated yet and probably be a few days to getting acclimated to their new home. Also, my clone from my split last week finally came out of hiding to sit next to mom!
