Need to know a little about your system. Clown fish will host in a variety of things from powerheads to soft corals and are easy to care for. Anemones on the other hand are a bit trickier. Even an easier to care for Bubble Tip anemone is still not considered "easy" to keep. You still need good water quality, water flow and proper lighting. Bubble tip anemones can and do live under lighting other than MH but IMO to really thrive most anemones require MH lighting.

Here is a link from the resource library of which anemones are the natural hosts for various clown fish that might help.

You have sufficient light for most anemones, but be aware that if it is unhappy, an anemeon will wander around your tank stinging everything. That could have a very negative affect on your SPS.
