That tank still looks very new....I would hold off on adding any anemones until the tank is more established. What type of lighting do you have?

So many pedestrians so little time
I added an anemone about 4-5 months after setting up the my tank. It survived for about 5 weeks maybe 8.
How old is your tank?
What's your lighting?

+1 for waiting. Tried at 6+ months myself and failed. Sad.
Not saying it's impossible, but I'd prefer to start with something I'm likely to watch grow, not die.
Clowns are so dumb, they'll host a powerhead ;Joyful
Anything flowy is likely to interest them.

Yeah I would definitely wait. I tried to add a sand sifting goby at 6 months and he starved. Not enough nutrients in the sand yet. The tank still needs to mature a lot before adding complex animals like that.

Definitely wait. I also added an anemone too early (maybe about 4-5 months) about six years ago. It tried to survive but was on the way out when my heater nuked the tank. The heater just sped up the process.

Ive always herd to wait atleast a year after tank cycles. Mine cycled in August and I have a rock nem thats doing grate but they are very hardy compared to other nems
I have the current USA marine pro. My tank has been cycled for a year.

I would just keep in mind that owning a anemone will limit what you can get in the future.They are capable of eating small fish.And sometimes they will move onto corals. Look for a captive raised specimen if you do decide to purchase one.
