I have a 29 gallon BioCube and would like to get an anenome for it.
I have the following in my tank currently:
Royal Dottyback
Damsel
Algae Blenney
2 Clown Perculas
Coral Banded Shrimp
3 Emerald Crabs
Hermits
Snails
3 Small Corals
What type of anenome would you recommend for my Clowns?

Honestly... none, IMO your tank is over stocked as it is. Crowding it with an anemone would not be a good idea. Also depending on how long your tank has been set up for, it may be to early for you to attempt one. They are very delicate animals and requre specific care.
If you choose to ignore that bit of advice and get one anyway... a bubble tip anemone stands the best chance of survival in your tank under stock lighting. Just keep in mind the stock cube lighting is marginal at best and more than likley your anemone will wander around quite a bit. And may never find that spot it really likes to stay put in for a while. Just FYI, HTH and good luck.

+1 to Dark.
Your lighting IMO is insufficient, I wouldn't even try anything as photosynthetic dependant as an anemone.
You could get a tube anemone though - they are stationary (will burrow but that is really it), come in some amazing colors, and don't require any lighting. Downside being nothing will host it, and i'm assuming because you have two clowns you want something they will host.

Xenia, the clowns will probably host it if you can get a big enough piece. In addition to the elevated nutrient levels your tank I am sure has, should grow very well.
