What nem would be best for an sps tank. I want one that doesn't climb to the top of all of the rock structures. I know that carpet anemones stay generally on the bottom of the tank. This is my first anemone and I would like to try something that is somewhat easy. It seems like carpets are labeled as difficult. I was also looking into purple long tentacle. Any advise would helpful.
 
Haddoni carpets prefer the sandbed (( really the sandbed, rock interface )) Gigs seem to be more on the rocks.

An LTAs will stay on/in the sandbed -- but seem to prefer a deeper sandbed, depending on how big they are.

Sebaes/Crispas are sand dwelling too.

Since it is your first one, I would suggest an LTA, the key to them is finding an healthy one -- closed mouth, nicely colored foot, and no holes in the foot. I have yet to get an LTA to recover from a hole in the foot.
