How big do these get! This is our 90 gallon tank and this thing is massive! The base of it is at least the size of a tennis ball and the tentacles are easily 9 to 10 inches
 
Not an anemone expert, but I think this is Condylactis gigantea, which is more commonly known as the condy anemone. Online sources say this anemone can grow up to 16-20 inches in diameter, so I guess yours is fully grown in terms of tentacle length (online images suggest the base will grow larger). These anemones do not naturally host clownfish and have been known to consume them:

Yours is about max size, as stated the disc will get bigger but the tentacles are about full length. I'm not sure about hosting, I've always been told that they will kill & eat clowns, however I've had both skunks and percs live in mine with no problems. Keep the nem well fed and it might be less likely to snack on your other fish. Be careful keeping these with other species of nems due to chemical warfare that the condies will start. Condies always win.
 
It’s even more spread out today we feed a half of a large shrimp once a week.
