I picked this up at my LFS but I'm not sure what it is.

Agreed Frogspawn. Please research something prior to purchase in the future though! You wouldn't buy a dog and bring it home then ask people what to do with it....I hope.
 
If you get a chance, I'd like to see a picture of yours. Thanks. And thank you all for all the replys. I'm new to this hobby and I'm learning a lot on here.
 
Good afternoon, and Welcome to the site. Frogspawn doesn't usually host clowns. How big is your tank? Clowns like anemones but not all are hosts to eachother.
 
Its a 29 gallon BioCube with 21 lbs of live rock, 2 mexican turbos, 1 clown, 1 pink tip Anemone, 1 frogspawn, and 1 yellow clown Golby. Any advice on which anemone I should get. I also want to get another clown and a peperment shrimp.

I had a beautiful green carpet anemone host my clown. But unfortunately it got very large and I couldn't keep up,with its needs and care. When it died, it whipped out my reef tank with its chemical warfare.
 
Here's a picture of my frogspawn coral frag I just picked up, I love LPS coral, sometimes Clownfish will take to corals as host instead of the anemones but the best option is to look at what clowns host with in nature. Different clowns will host different anemones

Clownfish hosting euphyllia is not a good idea. They can injure the coral by swimming into it and rubbing the polyp flesh against the spines of the skeleton. Euphyllia do not do well when injured. Very large colonies allow the clownfish to hide without getting too close to skeleton. So less likely to injure. The size of that frogspawn is way too small to even let a clownfish attempt to host without injury to coral.
