I am moving my 50 corner into a 6' 125 this weekend. I have a pink and green carpet about 4-5" big.
I did some electical work for a guy on the local forum the other day. Turns out he makes his living in the saltwater business and produces his own show.

He is GIVING me a very young pair of Platinum's. :bigsmile:

Should I be concerned about this anemone and the clowns in this large tank??

I also want to keep multiple clowns in this tank.
Think I'll be ok getting another young pair of Perculas and introducing them @ the same time??
 
Given the color, I am guessing your "carpet" isn't a hosting anemone. Would think that they would stay away, but there is always a risk.

I, personally, would stick with just one pair of clowns per tank. Things might work out in the short term, but in time a pair will form and they will start to spawn -- when that happens they will not take too kindly to the other clowns. I have seen this happen and it is shocking how quickly and how violently it can turn South.
