What type of Anemone?

I have a 28 gallon tank w/ 150 watt metal halide and I'm wanting to get an anemone. I have a mixture of soft and hard corals in the tank, but haven't started putting fish in yet. I plan on 2 ocellaris clowns (possibly perc, but most likely not) and I want an anemone for them to hopefully host in. What type should I get? I want one that will easily host and one that won't outgrow the tank it a very short time. Thanks
 
I have a 29 with the same light and after asking the same Q. I was told that a bubble tip - RBTA or GBTA - would be the best choice.
 
Ocellaris and Percs don't naturally host in a BTA though. Most clowns will eventually, but it you never know. They could dive into the BTA in 5 seconds, 5 days, 5 months, 5 years, or never. the 150w halide will definitely be enough light for a BTA. I don't have much experience with any of the natural ocellaris hosts to help you out there though.

Edited for spelling...
