So do you guys think it's a good idea to get an anemone for my Clowns? It almost seems like it's a "must have" for those little guys. This way they aren't bored!

NO! thats a big NO! get a frogspawn or something else.
1. your clown might not host the anemone no matter what you try.
2. the anemone might/will die on you.
3. they ugly

First of all anemones are not ugly....
2. Your tank needs to be at least 6 months old and have excellent water quality
3. Having an anemone does not mean your clown will host it (believe me...I have an empty bta..lol)

LONG TENTICLE PLATE! They look like anenomes and sting like anenomes. I just bought one there cool. Plus you can put them on the sand bed and save more room on your rocks for other things!

kat is good coral for your tank. and also frogspawn, and any other lps will work as well. the xenias are good to if you like.

Question for you guys, after receiving my two clowns this past weekend, how long should I wait before I introduce any other type of fish to the tank? I really want a goby to clean the sand up a bit...

Test your water for a few days...maybe wait a week if everything stays the same (as far as parameters).....and if you are only looking to add one

I was planning on testing my parameters to see if they stay about the same, then going from there. I think the Diamond Gobys are pretty cool and seem to clean up the sand a bit. Any other Goby recommendations?
