Which anemone?

[fishoutawater]

I am thinking about getting a couple of occelaris clowns and an anemone. I have a 40gal breeder which has been up and running for months in my house and years at a friends house prior. Any suggestions as to which nem would be best suited?

What is lighitng situation? If it will be your first, I would strongly recomend you start with one of the less difficult species. Natural host of ocellaris can be very difficult to keep. Although not a natural host, the bta is a good choice for a beginner. While still considered difficult, bta's are the most forgiving provided they're basic needs are met. Bright lighting, excellent water parameters and moderate flow.

Right now I am running a single hamilton hqi 150 watt, 14k. I will soon be installing 2x175 moguls in a diy lumenarc reflector and 2x96w pc for actinic supplementation. Between my closed loop and return I am moving about 1500gph.

Decided to go with a bta. After much reading they seem to be the most nem newbie friendly. I found a very small one at my favorite local lfs, its only about 2" in diameter. I drip acclimated it in a large bowl for an hour and then placed it in a hole that was fairly deep with a small ledge. It promptly attached and hopefully all is well. How long should I wait to try and feed it?
