Your lighting is good enough for an anemone. How long has the tank been set up? Anemones do much better in tanks that have been set up for a while and are established.

3 months or so. wat other corals could i keep

Well, an anenome isn't what you want to start out with - especially in a 10g tank.

Personally, I wouldn't have an anenome - if it decides to go walking around in your tank - you can pretty much kiss the rest of your corals goodbye. It'll sting and kill everything it touches.

3 months? Get a couple mushrooms.

wat would clownfish host that i could add

Frilly Mushrooms will usually do the trick.

Clown fish will host a powerhead or a plastic bowl. They are NOT smart. And believe me when I tell you - you're MUCH safer with a plastic bowl or a mushroom in your tank than an anenome.

I gotta agree with the above posts.
Anemones are awesome animals.But there will never be another one in my reef.
