i would go with a bubble tip , they are the most hardy when aq'd also if you plan on doing a finding nemo theme you are going to need a HUGE tank to support Peach (linkia star) , and Gill the moorish idol , the yellow tang

HOWEVER, it is my personal experience that I have observed, they are happier and tend to look healthier and live longer when a host pair exists between fish and anemone.
Good luck to you.
First of all thanks for all the info, but one more question. I am not sure if I have enough light for anemone. I have 2 fixtures with a total 0f 6 florecent lights, half being the atnic blue lights for a total of just under 600 watts of light. I am also keeping a close eye on the perculas and so far so good.
