Maroon Clowns & Long Tentacle Anemone

Introducing Kate & Leopold, the maroon clownfish! :) The pet store had a good deal on two large maroon clown fish and a long tentacle anemone they were VERY attached to. When we first brought them home, they looked like this:












The next day, after they got comfortable, the anemone swelled up and turned out to be HUGE!












The clown fish hardly ever leave the anemone, they LOVE it! It's so interesting to watch the symbiotic relationship there. However, the male clown (the smaller of the two) has also tried hosting with the Condy Anemone, which we've read is almost unheard of. Most clown fish don't host with that type of Anemone.

Here's a current picture of the tank:
