Do you have pumps/Streams/powerheads in the tank?

Generally speaking, Bubbletip Anemones (Entacmaea quadricolor) are considered the least challenging species to keep - having said that, they still demand special care.

It's worth seeking out a cloned/tank bred specimen rather than a wild caught one. There's usually someone on the forum with one that's just split - if not, it won't be long before there's another one!

yeah got some heads in the tank, i have covered the intakes with thin mesh, will the clowns live in a bubble tip?

No guarantees that any clowns will actually accept any anemone. In the wild, perculas don't live in bubbletips, but many people do have them paired up in aquariums (including myself).
