Which anemone?

[vyerous]

Hello. Just to give you the run down, I've been doing my research for several months and I've boiled down to a few anemones in mind but I wanted to hear what most of you guys thought first. I also want to say that my parameters go unchanged and have remained the same for a few months now (knocks on wood.) My tank has been established for almost a year, the only difference is I added a sump and expanded the water volume back in March.

My tank:

90g display w/ 30g sump
Octopus 150 recirculating needlewheel skimmer
Mag 7 return pump
2x korallia 3 powerheads, 1x korallia 2 powerhead
mixed reef, very few SPS, couple LPS, few softies, lots of zoas and rics
2-3" aragonite sand bed
100lbs of liverock
10 gallon fuge
400 watts of light via T-5s (MH maybe in the future)



My criteria for a nem:

Prefer it didn't walk around too much - that doesn't mean a BTA is out of the question, I'm just investing quit a bit in zoas and I would be pretty upset if it got destroyed.
Commonly host Percs (onyx) and Ocellaris clownfish (preferably the onyx)
Don't grow too large within the first year
I hate to use the words easier but I guess have better luck in aquariums
And the base price without shipping is less than or around $120ish


Obviously I enjoy color, but my main thing is the hosting. My favorite thing about a fish tank is seeing someones paired clownfish hosting something.

I have done the research, I've narrowed it down, I keep weight the differences, I am prepared to keep one, I am going to take the plunge. If you could also recommend a place to order it from, that would be great also. I would much rather have a guarantee from an online website for a 10day survival versus the fish store once you leave its your problem guarantee.
Thanks

I would think a long tentecal would be good.They do not tend to move around a bunch but thay do tend to grow faster than lets say a Bubble Tip or a Sebae anemone would.The only problem i would see would be you dont have a very deep sand bed.The anemone will need a sand bed of about 4 inches.You could make a half circul in front of your existing rock work and then fill it in with sand.I would be sure that the area that u put it in would be in moderate flow and light.You could do a sebae but they need high light that you dont have.They need about 5 watts pet gallon you have 4 you cloud try it but i dont know how well it would do with out 1 watt.I think that it would be fine.

I thought the whole watts per gallon was kind of thrown out the window and now it was all about par readings.

My biggest thing is that I get growth on my sand, I can grow zoas, rics, even keep SPS happy on the sand.

I might as well say I've been looking at a carpet nem, LTA, BTA, and maybe a sebae. My sand bed is deeper than I thought, I keep forgetting the bottom frame is thicker than my old tank, my sand bed is easily 4+ inches, its 2-3" above the frame.
