I am looking at a set of clown, fish and anatomy at the local fish store that has them together now could I quarantine all three of them together in the same tank or would it be best to separate them?

Hi, not sure what you mean by "anatomy", did you mean an anemone? If so, then no, anemones should be placed into a stable aquarium and clownfish should be quarantined in a different tank (the medications used would harm the anemone). If the clownfish are tank raised and have been kept away from wild caught fish that could harbor disease, you *could* just put the clowns and the anemone in the new tank together....
