also which one should I look for



I do have clown fish so I think the kids want the anemone and clown fish to be "friends"



any help would be great



Thanks


You should wait 5-8 months before adding an anemone. Your system needs to be mature.

Per the advice of my LFS - As far as water parameters go, 0 ammonia (anemones cannot tolerate any) and keep nitrates under 20. Keep phosphates reasonably low - they don’t need to be SPS quality but you can’t have over 1.0 either.

Besides that just make sure you have flow and light in your tank. Be prepared for the anemone to run around and try to find a spot it likes.
