Hello and welcome to R2R!! :)

Congratulation on the big tank deal find.
 
Welcome to Reef2Reef!!

You certainly are starting out right with a 240!! Any idea what kind of anemone you want? I have a long tentacle and love that it doesn't move once it's happy.

This si where I am leaning but have a lot of work to do to get it ready. Does your host clowns?
 
Yes it's hosting a pair of midnight clowns! Bubble tip anemones are a bit easier but they tend to move around a lot more.

Something I did that worked extremely well for getting them to host the anemone.

I used a coral feeder and exclusively fed about an inch above the anemone tentacles. The clowns would dive into the anemone to eat and after about a week they were hosting it full time.
 
They want their foot buried. It can be in a few inches of sand or in my case a tunnel in a rock to the bottom glass.
