Condy anemones (the pink tip is also a condy) are not natural hosts to clowns. Clownfish are from the pacific, and condy anemones are from the atlantic. Many other anemones can host them, not just bubble tips.
I hope you are aware of the anemones' lighting and water quality needs too.

so what type should we get....anemoe???

also don't expect the clownfish to just jump right into the anemone..it might take some time

well buble tips are good....I think perculas will use long tentacles, They run like from 30-50 dollars (that's includeing each anenome they each run for about that)
