The BTA or Entacmaea quadricolor is considered one of the "easier" anemones to keep and it also happens to be one of the tomatoes natural host anemones. If you haven't a great book to pick up is Joyce Wilkerson's Clownfish. If you're just starting out (as it maybe sounds like you are, but I'm not sure) its very advisable to wait 6 months to a year or even longer to add an anemone to your tank.

This gives your tank a little bit of time to mature and also for you to get your "sea legs" under ya' and make sure everything is really stable.
