I'm getting a percula clown, a yellow watchman, and a royal gramma for a 24 gallon reef. I'm not really expirienced with anemonies so I was wondering, is there an farly easy anemonie to keep, or even if I don't want any anemonie, and I know the clownfish would be fine with out an anemonie, would a cleaner shrimp be fine? Thanks.

A cleaner shrimp would work wonderfully with the fish you have.
Anemones require intense lighting and pristine water quality...not what I would recommend for a beginner. Keeping one in a 24-gallon tank would be even more of a challenge and I would not advise it.
There is a good chance that your percula, if tank bred, wont take to the anemone anyway. Mine have been in the tank with the anemone for over a year and have never paid attention to it.
So, in my opinion, I would get a pair of fire shrimp. They would work in your setup and look really cool! They really add some color to any reef and they won't bother your fish (and vica-versa). Plus they are good at cleaning up leftover food.
Just my 2 cents worth.
