I just did a haddoni, it loved the LFS tank, hated mine. So I don't recommend a carpet.

So roughly 60x turnover, bit on the heavy side.
I'm not exp w/ carpets though they are sand dwellars(I know they get big, can be fish eaters more than others)
I would say a sebae(crispa) could handle that flow, maybe, but in that size tank it could be getting blasted if too close to PH's, tough call.
Malu and LTA are sand dwellars too, but I'm sure a LTA wouldn't like that flow.
You might get lucky w/ a BTA, if you could provide a lil island and it stayed there, or maybe a sand dwellar protected a lil bit by rocks maybe.
Equally as important you may want to decide what clowns you want and lean towards a natural host nem, check nem FAQ sticky above, also gives more detailed info on nem/clown care.

IMO, wait a few more months before getting an anemone. A 3 month old tank isn't matured enough & water parameters aren't stable enough for an anemone to thrive. My RBTA likes good flow & attached to rock within minutes; it's midway in tank & hasn't moved more than 3 inches all year.
