    First you have to figure out what kind of clown you have. Then, you can use this site as a reference:

    my ocellaris pair hosts a sabae anemone (not according to that list). I got them all at separate times and it took about a month and a half to get them to start hosting. Took about 2 days once I found the picture method, works great! ;D

    Just as a side note, what type of lighting do you have?

    I think the black and white ocellaris look really cool with the carpet anemones, especially the red ones

    +1, and how old is the tank? I suggest you do a TON of research before deciding on getting one. They can be very tricky to keep.

    You might want to wait 9 more months and get more live rock
