Looking for an anemone for clown fish.

I really like the look of the purple-tip white Sebae anemone - but not sure I have enough light for it - plus it seems to be difficult to care for?

My other option would be a rose bubble tip.

What kind of clownfish and what lights do you have? Also size of tank.

An ocellaris is more likely to accept a sebae anemone (H. crispa) than a BTA, IME. However, a white sebae with purple tips will not stay that way for long. It will either die from lack of zooxanthellae or it will regrow its zooxanthellae and become tan with purple tips.

A mag is your best bet with ocellaris. I've got a pair of Mocha Ocellaris and they have 3 RBTAs to choose from and they don't even look at them. With an RBTA a Maroon is the natural. But with Ocellaris its best to get a Mag or one of the other carpets.

Except that a mag or a gigantea carpet (they aren't likely to go into a haddoni carpet either) are significantly more difficult to keep than a sebae or BTA.
