Lol and you should! The clown/nem relationship is one of the best parts of reef keeping!! Mine have been playing musical anemones for awhile. The alpha gets first picks and the rest scramble for leftovers lol

Well I talked to a clown specialist and here is what he recommended. Get a female that is larger then the one I currently have and have it where she is mated with a male already. (Found it) 2nd get them their own anemone (Found that) put them in tank however build a structure out of egg crate that would be 8 x 8 and the height of the tank, put the anemone and the clowns in there together and see how the clowns react , then if there is aggression keep them in there until the aggression is less. He said no matter what there will be some aggression, however if each has a male to itself there will be less chance of a killer fight.
