I got this anemone last week but never got the proper name of the species.

Looks like this only it has bright orange tips instead of purple, my clowns love it.

It may be a condylactis gigantea but I've never seen one with orange tips??

Condy anemone are NON-hosting anemones and since your clowns are hosting it, it may not be a Condy.

The anemone in that picture is a Heteractis crispa (Sebae anemone).

I would also guess Sebae but never heard of orange tipped Sebaes. Hopefully not "dyed" cause I know they used to do that with different anemones.

I would think it would hard to get little dryers on all those tips, :lol:
Now I think about it I believe that Sebae was mentioned when I got it.
I'm never good at remembering names of corals, especially zoes. :redface:

Does it have a red foot? I had a cody that hosted clowns they loved it. Mine was more brown with purple tips and a red foot

....and I can never seem to post pics here so you have to imagine it
