i have a 12 g with a yellow tail damselm cleaner shrimp and 2 red hermit crab. i would like to add a clown - i prefer the maroon (go figure), tomatoe or false perc. which is best to keep in the tank and what type of anemone should i get to go with it. i also plan on keeping shrooms, and some corals, and a red sea star starfish.

What kinda lighting are you intending to use over your host anemone? You may or may not know, but they need 5 times higher lighting than mushrooms and polyps as well as clean water (nitrate below 30ppm)

 

Depending upon the species of clown you get, you will want to aim for a particular species of anemone.

 

Marrons are far too large and aggressive to keep in anything but a 30 gallon tank, even then she wouldnt be happy for her entire life. Perculas or false perculas, skunks, and bonnets would be your best bets. And you could do a pair as opposed to one maroon.
