Would a Maroon Clownfish do well in a 14 gallon Biocube?
Which anemone could I add to the tank for my little friend?

I am not incredibly familiar with salt water fish, but from what I’ve been told they need way more water than freshwater fish (which I am incredibly familiar with). This site (linked at the bottom) says 30 gallons minimum and that is pretty on par with what I’ve heard. Also keep in mind you need to account for the anemone in the tank, it will reduce the actual amount of water available.
For your best answer, I would ask the person selling you the fish, assuming it’s a reputable store and not like Petco.

I agree that a 14 gallon tank would be very tricky, especially for a clownfish and an anemone. I’ve kept salt-water tanks (30–55 gallons) with fish and invertebrates. Anemones need very good water conditions and smaller tanks will fluctuate in Ph levels to a greater degree and more quickly than larger tanks.
Def not. Maroons get pretty big and extremely territorial.
Be careful not to cram species that are used to living in vast areas into tiny containers. It typically doesn’t turn out well for anyone.
