yellow stripe maroon and false percula problem.

Mixing two species of clowns in a smaller tank was a big gamble, my friend. Not saying it could never work, but it's a gamble. Even in the captive situation where two species are co-existing for many months, one can suddenly run amok and turn bully. Search the files over on WWM and you will see what I mean.
These two would not be seen near each other on the reef, what you are attempting to create is unnatural... I just returned from a trip to to Micronesia, and on 17 dives we never saw two species of clown closer to each other than 50 feet or more. We also noticed the wild clowns were very aggressive--even to divers! My son was surprised when one latched onto his glove like a bulldog when he touched the host anemone. They are territorial damsels, please remove one to be safe.

Hmmm, clowns can be a bit unpredictable with regard to hosting. All I can tell you is the Maroons I have observed in the wild were not hosting in yellow ones. Be advised, some questionable retailers have sold anemones over the years which have been injected with artificial dyes, resulting in wild colors, pinks, yellows... hope this is not what you're seeing.

Well, the maroon still may host this anemone, as for dyes added to anemones etc, generally it happens in places such as asia etc, and it is very rare to find dyed anemones.

Yes... places like Singapore? Note the location.

LOL, i should take more time looking at people, well post a picture of this anemone, we can see if it is dyed.

yes you can.

I guess it's just another lesson... do more research BEFORE you go out and buy a new fish.
