Any concerns about these co-habitating with bubble tips? I am running a nem tank and would love to add some variety.

There are 60 Heteractis magnifica anemones in this tank. I do not do prophylactic treatment. I do not find it necessary. These are obtained directly from a diver in Sulawesi Indonesia, he collects them and holds them for about a month. They are flown to us directly.
At our facility they get natural sunlight and LOTS of flow (turned off to take pics). They are fed daily. Every one is healthy and beautiful. There are many different color varieties. Each is approximately 6 to 8 inches or so.
There are 36 tank-raised Ocellaris in the tank. All the different Ocellaris/Percula variants will be hosted by magnificas.
Will be posting a few each day on our site.

What are you feeding these guys?
Mine have never responded well to direct feeding.

Do these anemones have a tendency to eat healthy fish that happen to get too close?

The Clownfish are fed twice daily with a dry hatchery diet. The food is put in at one end with lots of flow dispersed throughout and the fish and anemones both get some. It's a finer grain pellet-like feed.

Not that I have ever heard about, but I do not stock wild collected fish so I don't keep them with other types of fish.

The tank these are in is 8 inches deep and 12ft x 3ft. They definitely do best under a full spectrum rather than all or mostly blue.
Here are a couple that are in a 32gal Fluval Flex under AI Hydra 32 with full spectrum. They have been in this tank for about 8 months.

I do not find an issue mixing different anemones. However, understand that my greenhouse system has thousands of gallons and the diffent types of anemones are not in one tank directly or potentially directly touching each other. My opinion is that a tank dedicated to one type of anemone is best. A typical hobbyist tank of a couple hundred gallons or less will be far different than a 20+ year aged thousands of gallons system.
IME the best scenario for anemones is a tank dedicated and designed for them. Yes, many folks have them in mixed reefs, but many others have issues. For example, all my indoor coral systems have all blue lighting and the corals not only look great but grow best under that lighting--we produce many thousands of frags under that lighting annually. Clams and anemones do not look great or do their best under all blue lighting.
Love it! Only 8" tall? Great for tidepool like viewing!
I agree about lighting. Mine are kept under full spectrum during the day's peak hours. I do admit that I really enjoy viewing them at night under the blues as it brings out their fluorescence.
