Notes
Premier clownfish-hosting anemone, large, brightly coloured (purple, green, rose) with thick fingertip tentacles. Wanders persistently when unhappy with placement, stinging anything it touches. Demands intense light and pristine water; loses colour and shrinks without both.

Every coral below passes the reef-compatibility engine when placed alongside Magnificent Anemone. Verdicts account for stinging sweepers, wandering anemones, and overgrowth pressure. Cautions mean you can still keep both but should plan placement (frag plugs, separate rockwork, sight breaks).
