Just want to know anyone has one of these Atlantic Carpet Anemone (Atlantic/Carribean) (Stichodactyla sp.) in their tank and how are they to keep and will clowns go in them. I saw one at our local LFS and undeciding to buy it or not. Want more oeople personal experience.

Stichodactyla helianthus. I've actually encountered these off the coast of the Florida keys in about 6' of water on coral rock with a light covering of sand. There was an entire colony of easily 20 individuals, which seems to suggest some sort of asexual reproduction. I have never kept them, so can't provide additional information. They seemed to be VERY sticky - similar to other Stichodactyla species - so be careful with bottom-dwelling fish.

I wouldnt buy it if there are going to be fish in the tank. one of the LFS here used to have one and it ate quite a few fish.
