    None of the clown host anemone species are easy to keep. The easiest by far is the BTA, bubble tip anemone (Entacmaea quadricolor). AKA Rose Anemone, RBTA, GBTA, etc.

    I wrote an article for another site - can I post a link to it here? On how to keep BTAs and clowns.

    The clowns may or may not host in it, but the BTA is the only one for you to consider right now. And it should be the first cnidarian to go in the tank, because it stings, and will most likely wander around the tank when first introduced.

    Wipe out the whole tank !!!!!!!!!!! Kind of like my Clown Grouper when I moved from the Redlands to Palmetto Bay,15 mile move , I opened the 6' cooler and everything was dead , except the Clown Grouper!!! They release toxins from their skin when they get stressed, he almost took his own life but I yanked him out of the cooler!!! Are there any signs when an anemone is going to parish so you can yank him from the tank before he dies !!!

    Everything that has been said is good advice, but right now your tank is way too young to keep an anemone. Is it even cycled yet?
