I would recommend a bubble tip. They seem to be the most hardy of the anemones. You can find them in all colors from white to purple. A lot of fish accept the bubble tip as well.

me, i'd reccommend don't get one, especially right now, you need to give your tank a good year or 2 to mature better, it is only a coupleof months old, right??
anemones need alot of good, high quality water and stability, and a mature system, and your system will still be going through it's phases for a while yet, it is just done cycling recently
sorry, but HTH

Carpet are hard to keep. They need strong lighting. And as far as I know, it does not live long in captivity.
Condi, however, are supposedly easier. And the price is relatively cheaper . Naturally, condi anemone does not host clownfish (just found out about this today ). It came from the Atlantic Ocean, where no clowns are present. That's why the common name of condi anemones are atlantic anemones. The clowns came from the Pacific. BUT, if there is no other anemones in the tank, it might house tomato or sebae (I read this today, too ). I don't know whether it houses other clowns.
Listening to the experience of some people, condi does not need as strong lighting as the other anemones. I've heard people having them with regular fluorescent light . Then again, I have no experience in this, though I am getting one soon. I suggest you read more about anemones and make sure they are suitable for your lovely clownfishes .
Do a search on google.com for symbiotic map of clowns and anemones. Check it out .
I hope that helps.
