Hi I am new to saltwater aquariums and am hoping to have a occelaris clownfish (maybe a pair, idk yet). I was wondering what type of anemone is cheap and is able to host clownfish. I have a 15 gallon cube nano tank, and will have other corals.

Thanks
 
Welcome! Best advice is to take your time and do some research. It'll be close to a year before you should add an anemone to a tank.

Ocellaris clownfish has been known to go to carpets, bubble tip anemones, long tentacle anemones, and also would not mind living in a lot of different corals either. So there are quite a lot of choices. Cheapest... well there are pretty much always cheap options around for bubble tips and long tentacles.
 
Even the easy anemones aren’t easy. Many of them are extremely difficult. BTA is probably your best, and least expensive, bet. Not a guarantee that ocellaris will view it as an acceptable host.
