Anything can really work...if you don't want an anem, it is quite possible to have them host a coral, or algae, or a pump, or an overflow box(don't ask
). If you really want an anem, I would have to first ask you questions about the setup. Size? Lighting? Flow? BB or DSB? filtration? Amount of rock? Etc...anything to help aid the decision process.
BTA's are usually considered the most accepting(most clowns can host it even if not natural symbiont), the hardiest, the least requiring, fairly common(not gonna cost an arm and a leg), and great choice for beginning anem keepers.

BK,
First off welcome to RC. Secondly you kind of hi-jacked chkra's thread unless of coarse you just created another name. In your profile it says your hobby experience is 1 month of a reef tank? Your tank is definately way too young to even attempt to have any type of anemone yet. Give some things time to settle out and get stabalized before attempting to add a Nem to your tank. Your clowns are going to live just fine without one for a while.
