[Romulox234]

Is there any type of anenome that stays realitivly small and doesnt move around a whole lot?

If it matters it would be for my 60g tank

I would go with an RBTA for a 60 but they can get pretty big, they split, and some stay puth others roam a lot. But they are easy and they are my favorite nems.

i used to have a green lta it was pretty big almost 7 inches it didnt roam around a whole lt though just mostly back and forth on the rock it was on, do anenomes like RBTA's eat fish or sting them?

H. Crispa, H. Malu stay relatively small

Going to have to disagree about the Crispa (( though agree with Malu )) I had a Crispa many many years ago, and it took up about 1/3 of my 75.

Would clarkii clowns host an H.Malu?

It is a natural host for them.

However, Clarkiis can be rough on anemones, so I would watch out for getting too small of a one.

What would the right size nem for them be?

Get one that is atleast 4-5 inches.

Any nem will sting fish but a run in with a bubble tip is much less likely to be a problem than a run in with a carpet. Most fish are smart enough to stay away from nems but it happens occasionally when the fish are scared and dart away right into a nem. I have a friend that had it happen in his tank. A yellow tang jetted away and ran into his carpet and 24 hours later it was dead.

Ouch that sucks, so an h. malu would be a carpet anenome in that case?

 

[ezhoops]

No an H.Malu is not a carpet anenome. LA has them available from time to time in the divers den.
