Which anemone should I purchase?

I am setting up a 3-tank system that will run off one sump. One of the tanks will be a 40 breeder that I want to house my bonded GSM's along with an anemone. I just can't decide which anemone to attempt.

The lighting for the tank will consist of 6 t5's with SLR's powered by Advanced ballasts. I also hope to have a clam or two and a lot of macro variety in the tank. The clowns will most likely be the only fish in the tank.

Although the system will be a new setup, all the live rock used in all 3 tanks will come from a long existing setup with great parameters.

A BTA is the obvious choice, but I was hoping for something a little more exotic. I have kicked around the idea of a carpet, but I'm not sure I want to give up all the real estate in the tank. Right now I am leaning towards a ritteri but the thought of it hitting a powerhead and nuking all three tanks scares me a little.

All comments and questions are welcomed.

Thanks
 
BTA is definitly the best chance of hosting. My started hosting my RBTA less then an hour after it was introduced to the tank.
 
BTA would be your best chance but I have a Haddoni host a pair of Ocellaris which is not their natural host nem.
 
If you want to be exotic get a rose bubble tip. looks at some pictures they are really beautiful

Yeah, RBTA's can be nice. Maybe if I find a colorful, decent size specimen then I will go that route. But they are not near the top of my list at the moment since I had a BTA in a previous tank.
