I recently got two, the green one got ripped real bad but is recovering nicely.
The red one crawled out of sight red one, it's twice the size you can see |

I'm thinking of getting one for my new tank that I'll be getting in a few months.
Do Maxi Minis normally stay in the sand, or are they rock-dwellers too? I would have 95W LEDs, so I don't think they would be climbing for light. |

I have never heard of clowns hosting maxi-minis. I have about a dozen and my clowns would rather host in my candy canes.

I've gotten all of mine semi-locally, mostly in Tallahassee and Pensacola. There aren't many, but I make frequent trips to LFS's and get lucky sometimes.

They won't host clowns, but they will host shrimp. I've had a Periclemenes brevicarpalis in one since I put the anemone in the tank. He moved out of a rock anemone.
Nice pics Sam. and you are likely right. I don't see a clown getting eaten, but he might get stung and killed. Might. Certainly none of the other fish in my tank go even close to them.

I googled the same thing and came up with the same image after reading your post. I read the thread and it's actually a target mandarin being eaten. I did some more research and found that there are a few other cases of maxi's eating fish, but the fish are usually sick or dieing when they are eaten. I think it's probably a lot like other "reef safe" anemones in that they will eat fish if they get the opportunity because the fish is either slow, sick, or small. I know that I have a lot of maxi's in both of my tanks, and both tanks have tiny gobies and clowns. I haven't had any fish go missing, but I might just be lucky.
In my opinion it's a risk worth taking. And the odds that a maxi-mini is going to eat a healthy fish are pretty slim IMO.
