I've read that they move where ever they want and sting other corals etc. I was wondering if there are any that don't sting so I don't have to worry?
 
Probably not the kind you are wanting, but rock flowers tend to stay put more than others. Mine won't budge for anything. They aren't any good for clownfish though if that's your plan.

Yeah clownfish is what I was planning
 
Try a mini carpet nem, some grow to 5-6” and they’re not really aggressive or move too much

Not agressive to what? I can't tell you how many fish I have seen them eat out of the display tank at work.

If you want a clownfish in an anemone buy a bubble tip and buy a clarkia clown or a maroon clown. Bubble Tips need stable conditions and strong lighting.
 
I've had a RBTA for years, they really aren't that bad. Once they find their happy place, they usually stay there as long as nothing else in the tank changes. So you just have to watch them while they find their spot.

+1 on RBTA, they're fairly tough if you have a stable system to put them in.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

    Votes: 3 15.8%
  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

    Votes: 5 26.3%
  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
