Pics of my new Anemone ---

[sammyinafrica]

In my 125 gallon, I keep several pairs of clowns: Clarki's, ocellaris, and tomato. I added 2 bubble tips and 2 long tentacled anemones. The Clarks and tomatos were in the anemones BEFORE they were out of my hands and placed were I wanted them. The Ocellaris ignore the anemones. In my 75 gallon I keep Ocellaris and tomatos, same results. Ocellaris ignore my LTA and BTA.

How do all the clowns get along? Did you add them all at the same time, or gradually?

I always buy immature clowns, I add them all as juveniles and usually put them all in on the same day. If thet LFS has several clowns, I usally try to get 2 that are different in size.
By only buying juveniles and adding them all at the same time, I have never had a problem with fighting even when they reach adult sizes.
Note: What works for me may not work for everyone, take that into consideration.
I will try and add a picture later on of all the clowns together ....if they will cooperate.

Ocellaris clowns are funny animals. Mine hosted on my vortech pump for a long time and now has decided it likes hosting in my hairy mushrooms since they are really starting to multiply and grow.

OK, here are pictures of the mixed clowns: ocellaris, clarks, and tomato. Everyone gets along. This is a camera phone, not the best pictures.

..... Any helps with a positive ID & proper care would be great (I did lots of research, but nothing beats first hand experience). I am a bit nervous since it is my first....

What you have is a M. doreensis (long tentacle anemone, LTA, or corkscrew tentacle sea anemone). This ID is 100% positive due to the orange foot and the white verrucae near the top of the column It is a sand bed anemone. It need bright light and clean water in a stable mature tank. It is somewhat bleached. When healthy, it will be brown with slight blue tinted. I need a sand bed about 3+ inches in height and do not need lots of flow. It is a natural host of A. chrysogaster, A. clarkii, A. perideraion, and it can eat fish although not as dangerous to fish as the carpet anemone.
Hopefully with a positive ID you can read more about it's requirement

That looks like a nice size tank! Cool rock layout as well.
