I've never heard of someone trying to get clowns to host corals on purpose, its interesting. I don't think it matters what you give them, they'll host what they want in the end. Usually you want the oral disk of the anemone to be at least twice as big as the fish. The same should apply to the overall size of a coral. IMO. I have two anemones in my 54 gallon and both are about 4 inches.

My Long Tentacle Anemone is 14" when fully expanded (it's in a 33g ) but hopefully it'll have a bigger home soon. I've seen many RBTAs & BTAs in the tanks of fellow reefers that are 8-12" in diameter so be prepared that any anemone you put in your tank will probably grow if it is healthy & happy. LTAs especially don't seem as inclined to split as BTAs
