What kind of anemone for me?

I am looking to get an anemone for my two clowns but I have no clue what kind to get.

I have a few other LPS corals in my tank including torch, hammer, open brain, rics, zoas so I do not want the anemone to sting or kill them. I also do not want the anemone to get sucked into the powerheads. Is there any anemone that won't do, or is less likely to do, those two things?

Thanks :)

Not really...they are all likely to do those two things. What you can do is cover powerhead intakes with foam. Once they find a spot they like they tend to stay put if there is no reason to leave, but in the beginning it will probably wander around the tank looking for that sweet spot.

As for what type of anemone that depends on what type of lighting you have. Of course it depends on many other factors like how long you have been in the hobby, tank stability, all that stuff, but provided those things are in check lighting is one of the major determining factors on what type of anemone you can keep.

Questions:
How big is the tank?
How long has it been up and running?
Is it stable as far as temp, ph, salinity?
Do you have a DSB, SSB, or BB tank?
Lighting?
