Coral b4 fish? Interesting.

Yeah, still deciding what fish to put in there. Thinking about a few clowns and nem in a couple weeks.

Thinking about adding 3-5 orange skunk clowns with a large Sebae Anemone. Any thoughts or suggestions?

It would be a challenge and probably have to be a tank dedicated to the anemone and skunks.

Heteractis malu can grow to 12-18 inches. Short tentacles. They tend to bury their foot in deep sand, but sometimes plant in the rock work. I would say that tank would be small but it could work with great care. Probably will not be much room for coral (any the anemone could reach would be at great risk).

A pair of Skunks could work, although this anemone is not their natural host. I would recommend adding an anemone first to get settled, then add the skunks. They are more likely to be hosted finding it in their new environment rather than if they are already established in the aquarium. The anemone should be large enough to host clowns, 2-3 times the the size per clownfish. 3-5 skunks may work for that size tank if they were the only fish and the anemone were large enough, perhaps. A pair might work better.

Thanks for great information. Tank will be dedicated for just clowns and nem. If it doesn’t work out they will be take out.
