3 clowns, 1 anemone?

[Artik]

I know you should only keep clowns singularly or in pairs, but i was given 3 small tomato clowns. After 2 weeks or so, the largest has claimed the anemone, and the others use the heliofungia and torch coral. Anyone had experience with 3 clowns (or more) forming a social group in and anemone?

one of my friends has 6 clowns and two anemones, and they are fine.... there is 2 percs, 1 ocellaris, and 3 others that i can't remember.

I don't know if I can be of much service since I have 3 but different kinds. I have 2 perc's and one sebea. Since you have all three the same my guess would be that since one has found its new home (the anemone). I would think that everybody is cool maybe if you're lucky one of the others will join the larger in the anemone. As long as there are no signs of agression all should be fine.

I have three false perculas in one RBTA. They are all doing great.

I have seen 5 small percs hosting (or trying to host) in a small anemone. I dont think it was good for the poor anemone but the clowns seemed happy.
