So what anemone go with Nemo? I got a 25G cube so that should be enough room for one or two Nemo. Would most anemone will do? Thanks!
 
Fist how long has your tank been set up and what kind of lights?
If your specs are in check I'd recommend a bubble tip anemone
 
A few things, and I'll apologize up front if they sound short, I don't have much time...

First, please tell us much more about your tank. Pics, stats, how long setup, lights, parameters, filtration, water movement, stocking plans, etc.

Second, there are no fish called Nemo. Nemo is a character name in a movie. You are asking about either an Ocellaris or Percula.
 
Been set up a month with rocks and sand from a 600G system. Got led light from homedepot and led strip light for FO. The led light from HD seem to even maintain my sps frag in my other tank so that's suffice IMHO.
 
Going with Ocellaris if I can find one at a LFS. Probably going to add a small goby + sandsifting goby. I use RO water. Have a small power head and a HOB filter for water movement. No skimmer or sump...yet ;)
 
The species of anemone that are natural host for ocellaris or percula are not a good choice for a 25 gallon tank and are quite difficult to keep. The general recommendation to those new to anemones is to keep your take up and running stable for at least 6 months before considering an anemone. You will want to keep your parameters in check, nitrates preferably undetectable, sg 1.025-1.027, temp 78-82F, etc. In that wait time read all you can on here about care for anemones, as again, they are not easy animals to keep and will move around and be a problem unless they are given the specific conditions they require. The good thing is, clownfish don't require an anemone to thrive. So, wait a while on acquiring an anemone and research in the meantime.
