I need suggestions for a hardy and easy to keep anemone for my Clownfish.

What kind of lighting do you have? What is the dimensions of your tank? Lots of PCs, VHOs, T-5s, Halides? Depending on size aquarium and what type of lights you have you might be limited on what anemones you can attempt. Also how long has your tank been setup and what kind of clowns are you planning on housing in the anemone?

I would recommend Bubble Tip Anemone as well. Have quite of few of them and all my clowns love them.

The carpet anemone is ideal for hosting percula, but i hear it´s fairly hard to keep...

carpet anemone can mean several plus anemone species??

i had a haddoni carpet with a percula and it never gave the nem any mind so i would suggest a BTA plus BTAs can and are aquacultured making them a great first time anemone.

"Easy" is a relative term. I do concure with BTA, but would add that it would be most hardy and zero environmental impact to get a clone from someone else's tank.

BTA is a good one to start on, although I wouldn't consider any anemone easy to keep. In addition, I wouldn't add an anemone to a system until it has aged at least a couple of months to ensure a stable environment.

What size is the tank?

BTA if you have a properly established tank and requirements to care for one.
