Clarkii or maroon or other for huge mag?

I have a huge Magnifica anemone in a clownless 270 tank. I just lost my favorite fish, a tuskfish that killed clownfish. I have a 5 inch miniatus that I don't trust with fish under 2 inches and may get bigger (or might not).

I am tempted to try a clownfish again. A maroon fits with a big tank with larger more aggressive fish, but doesn't naturally host in a mag and I don't want it invading the few tiny bubble tips I do have.

I know Clarkii's also get big and naturally host in mags, so maybe a better choice.

I'd bet anything larger than 2 inches would probably be okay. The problem is my wife gets attached to fish. So while it might be worth $20 to me to see if a fish can make it or ends up grouper food , it isn't with her.
 
That is my original mag :). I would go with a pair of Clarkii's . Special order a pair from your local shop or get one large and one small.
 
Another sort of cool option would be pink skunks. Some of the ones from Fiji are really awesome.
 
Reefwise had some really nice black Australian Clarkii clowns for sale along with Akindynos. Either one of those would be great.
