from what I understand you can keep 2 in the same tank you just have to make sure that you do not add 1 that has some kind of bacterial infection or that has been quarantined for at least 3 to 4 weeks. if you have 1 that possibly does have some type of infection, itcan spread to your already established anemone and any and potentially cause death of both.

Moved on
Anemones in the same species will not have any problem with touching each other. On need to be careful in introducing new anemone into a close system. make sure that they are well. They seem to be susceptible to disease introduce by sick anemone. Like fish, quarantine is important.
I think the jury is still out on chemical warfare. I have not experience this in my close system. They will sting each other if different species come in contact most (some of the time) of the time but not all the time.

Wow, I have been looking for a blue or green for a while now (almost 2 years) for my 2 clowns. Everyone says the color is not garunteed. Does anyone know a place where I could get one?

I got this carpet anemone and the pair of clowns about 2 weeks ago. They're still recovering from being picked on by the hippo when I first added them.

Thought I almost lost my gigantea. I was holding a bubble tip anemone for my sister. Went out of town for conference for a few days - when I came back the bubble tip melted. On the next day the gigantea went into the deflating mode. And the next day, the anemone was also deflated when I came back in the evening. So I got a half gallon bucket, threw in some cefoxitin - probably 200g. Placed an air bubbler for about 4 hours. The anemone has not deflated since. This was about 5 days ago.

Divers Den hasn't had one in a long time. The regular site had a few come in. One person posted here, another is someone local to me. He sent me an email letting me know that it pulled through and he's had it for a few months. I suggest going to the LA site and signing up for the email alert to be notified when gigs come in.
I can tell you with some certainty that there isn't a reliable website/internet store to pick one up. Even those few who claim that they quarantine their gigs can't guarantee that they'll make it through the shipping process. I think this is why LA doesn't sell gigs often.
Of course, getting one from a local reefer is the best bet -- the only other way to get one is to ask your LFS to order one for you. However, keep in mind that all of the gigs I've seen at my LFS were sick. Make sure that you know all of the characteristics of a sick gig. Though tempting to pick up a sick one and try to bring it back, the track record for success is literally 0% of those people who posted on RC.
