Reef safe Anemone

Yeah is there such a one? My clown bounces back and forth between my frogspawn and my torch. I don't want him to kill either one. So I was hoping there might be a good anemone that walks very little if any that I can put in a reef for the clown. Any suggestions or am I better off leaving it be?

I did not have a good expirience with a BTA. I have an LTA now that has only moved once since i got it a month ago. They also prefer to be at the bottom than on the rocks

there is no such thing as a reef safe anemone.
they ALL can move sting and kill fish/corals, no exceptions.
that said. many people take the risk (myself included) BTA are a common choice, so arent LTA. personally I like rock anemone but they wont host clowns (or clowns wont host in them) but they dotn move very often.

Tube anemone's don't sting I've got four of them 2-orange and 2-lavender,but I don't think clowns will host them!

Tube anemones will definitely sting. Clowns dont host them because they arent actually anemones, theyre a creature that mimics that of an anemone. If a clown were to try to host it, it would get stung and die, along with any other fish. Theyre nonphotosynthetic as well, should be fed with meaty foods, otherwise theyll starve.

I have sebae anemone's and mine don't move, but they do grow big and you have to keep moving your corals because they do fight each other. My clowns love them both. One is in a 30g cube, the other in a 29g.
