Need help picking out a new Anemone, Please

[Reapar]

I Need help picking out a new Anemone.

I have a 3 year old Maroon Clown.

I bought him and his RBT 2+ years ago.

Saddly while I was on vaction his RBT got sucked into my powerhead and did not make it.

He seems very sad (a change from his normal ANGRY haha)

I want to get him a new anemone.

I was considering something more interesting this time.

He is in a 72 gallon tank with about 100+ lbs of live rock and 3 other fish about his size.

The only coral I have in the tank are Zoa's / palys and some Leathers.

I dont know much about anemones the RBT gave me no trouble and until his accident he was easy to care for.

I saw a blue carpet anemone I thought was interesting.

Would that work in my tank?

Will it adhere to Live rock rather or my sand bed?

I would like something colorful, any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

RBTA is still your best colorful choice for a Maroon.

It's a natural host. Carpet anemones are not.

Lighting would also help decide, but agree a BTA is still probably a good choice, just cover intakes this time.

I agree. There are some spectacular speckled BTA's available as well.
