High everyone, I recently setup a 29 gallon reef, I have a dual bulb 62 watt T5 fixture. I dont have any corals inside it yet. Stock is 4 domino damsels that I dont mind selling. I really want to have an anenome and some clowns in the tank. What anenome would you recomend? I've been thinking of getting rose bubble tip or sebae anenome. As far as clowns, I was thinking of clarkii, fiji tomato, or picasso clowns. What would work best in my tank?
 
no corals, 4 fishes, recently setup, so I suggest plastic anemone.
u did not mentioned any info about exact age, water parameters etc...
after u provide some usefull info than we can comment
 
Need more info for better suggestions.
but a bta would be ok under two t5ho, and I wouldn't try any other hosting nem in a 29. Keep in mind that anemones tend to be more sensitive than most corals, and if you make the mistake of putting one into the tank when its/you're not ready, it can melt and kill your whole tank. Be patient, tank should be 4-6 months cycled before you add a nem.
As far as clowns go, ocellaris and perculas (Picasso are perculas) would be the only clowns I would suggest for that size tank as well.
Please don't tell me you got the damsels to cycle your tank... But your going to need to get rid of them as they get big and very territorial (aggressive), I wouldn't suggest adding any more fish till they are gone, then stock the least aggressive fish that you want first (clowns are semi/aggressive, all my clowns bite my hand)
 
Sorry, after I postd this I read that the tank needs to be 6 months old before an anemone can go in. The tank is only 3 months old.
Sorry for wasting your time

Thank you, I have already sold the damsels to a new home and purchased 2 ocellaris clowns yesterday.

Asking questions is never a waste of time and I respect that much more than just making any kind of impulse buy.
Yes your tank could stand to mature a little bit longer.
As for a natural host for occs, mag, gig, or mertensi, would not recommend for that setup.
A BTA, would suit that tank setup best and your occs may take to that, but often they take many things as a host we don't expect.
Another alternative is going w/ some sort of euphyllia, frogspawn, hammer, or similar.
