the anemome is purple and supposedly from the pacific.

the clown is most likely a TR yellow striped maroon clown.

thanks.

My eyesight isn't good enough to make out what you have in that photo. If the fish is a maroon clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus), then it has only one natural host: Entacmaea quadricolor. It will often accept other surrogate hosts in captivity but the BTA is its only natural host.

Whatever your anemone is -- and I can't tell from your photo -- it's really too small relative to the size of the clownfish.

Good luck!

P.S. -- Did you notice any verrucae (warts) on the anemone's column? E-quads have no verrucae, all other host anemones have verrucae.

That anemone is most likely a H. crispa (Sebae anemone)
