Stichodactyla helianthus

Just curious if anyone's kept the "Atlantic carpet"/"Sun anemone" before?

Also, what are the possiblity of clowns hosting this species. I've kept many other anemone species before, but never attempted to keep these.

Any info would be appreciated.

Cheers

Don't do it man. They make Haddoni's look like pussycats. They kill everything they touch. I don't think clowns could survive in these anemones. They would probably become food. I have kept clowns in the same tank with them, but they never went near it, that I know of.

I had one for a few weeks. My percula clowns never went near it, but they loved the RBTA I got for them later. None of the other fish swam near it either, but I'm sure a slow moving fish could get eaten by one. It was a pretty hardy anemone too, but I like the RBTA better. I gave it to my dad, but unfortunately it met its end with a power head in his tank.
