Christmas Anemone mistake?

[AquaAmator]

On impulse, I bought a Christmas Anemone for my tank. Will my clowns host it? Will it cause me problems? I wanted to wait for a bubble-tip but they had these and they looked very healthy. Have I messed up?

I never heard of those in a tank? I don't think clowns would host it?

I dont believe they're a natural host for any clownfish.

Never heard or seen it

I actually think those are temperate species. I would definitely return it. No LFS should have ever sold you that knowing you own a reeftank.

AquaSD is selling them too-- https://aquasd.com/collections/anemones/products/a-750 . Not a host nem.
