clownfish hosting in a coral sometimes works out, but Ive seen clowns both kill corals (xenia and torches) and be stung by other corals (frogspawn), ending up with black marks and bacterial infections from the wounds......the best relationship is with a nem.....that being said I think nems is evil and will never put a BTA in my tank again, or clownfish for that matter as I dont want them hosting in something they shouldnt.....

I would suggest a much bigger tank, and a carpet anemone, either a gigantea (Stichodactyla Gigantea), or a haddoni (Srichodactyla Haddoni). Those are about the easiest anemones to get a clown fish to host in. My clowns completely ignored my RBTA anemone, but as soon as I added my haddoni carpet anemone, they started hosting in it right away

But you would need around a 90 gallon tank for either of those anemones
