Best Anemone for 75 Gallon

[Dizzle63]

I have a pair of black and white ocellaris that are hosting a torch coral. I am removing the torch and would like to try an anemone. The tank is 5 years old and has a 4" sand bed and is fully stocked with LPS and SPS. What anemone would be the best option? I have been thinking about a malu, but I like the way that LTA's look. Will they be too big for the tank? I know a BTA is the easiest, but they just don't appeal to me and I don't want them taking up valuable rock space. What would be the best choice for a sand dwelling anemone? Thank you in advance.

LTA. Stays in the sand so it wont hurt your corals and I believe its a natural host but don't quote me on that.

LTAs are sand dwelling, however, they definitely are not natural hosts for ocellaris. It's possible your ocellaris would go to one, but certainly not a guarantee.

Neither is a torch or hairy mushrooms, but they take to those really well . Thank you for the responses. Would an LTA be too big for the tank?

75 gallons is large enough, the question is do you have a large enough place in the tank for it. They can get over a foot across. I had one for years that measured about 14 inches across. They do move sometimes until they find just the right spot. I had to make a deep sand bed in a PVC container with ~6 inches of aragonite sand to keep mine happy.
