Need advice for anemone for sexy shrimp

[chemchris]

I got my GF an 8 gallon reef tank and she loves it. Obviously its critical nothing dies (or I do). We just introduced a sexy anemone shrimp and hes hanging out near the base of a frogspawn and irritating it a bit. I want to introduce an anemone first and see if he moves to it before I remove the shrimp.

In a small tank like this- obviously if the anemone dies its pretty much a wipe- so whats my best bet for an anemone? I hear the carpet are the hardiest, but I'm worried the shrimp might not take to it. What about a Condy or bubble?

Current (relevant) stock:
2 perc clowns
pom pom crab
frogspawn

If you get an anemone and your clownfish decide to host it, they are not going to let the sexy shrimp host the anemone and you will be back where you started. If you don't want your clownfish to host you could always get a rock flower anemone.

problem is the anemone will grow quickly and cause more complications to your corals. and for such a small tank i wouldnt recommend it.......... that being said if you still want something that might stay small and hope it doesnt move around much is a mini maxi anemone. but clowns cant host these i believe. heres an image of a clown that wasnt to lucky.
