Clowns and carpet question

Please forgive me if this is a stupid question but....
I will be slowly putting together a 125 and am exploring my options. I am thinking that I would like a carpet nem with a pair of skunk clowns to host. My main concern is that the carpets are pretty potent and I would be ****ed if my fish die off 1 by 1. Do they move much and are my concerns well founded?
 
all anemones can be deadly to a tank. the main thing is haveing good water quality and good lighting. the better your tank is with flow, water, and lights the better the chances are that they will stay put however they may still move. it is really a chance but things like that helps. also keep your powerhead intakes covered.

I would also suggest waiting at least 8 months before trying an anemone
 
What type of "carpet" ?

My experience is with S. Haddonis, have been keeping them for the last 12+ years, I currently have 4 of them, the oldest has been with me for 12+ years. While they are known as fish eaters, I have only lost 3 fish to them over those 12 years. The only time they move is when I change something -- mainly the flow. Give them the conditions that they want and they won't move. In one of my tanks I have a mated pair of pink skunks with a green S. Haddoni.

But, before suggesting for you, need to know more about your tank;
What size?
What lights?
Do you have a sandbed?
How long has it been set up?
What live-stock do you have?
What are your parameters -- with numbers.
