With that lighting on your tank you can have soft corals, LPS corals, and one of the lower-light anemones such as BTA, LTA, or a condy. Any less than 4x65 watts then IMO you should just drop the idea of having an anemone.
If you also want clams and SPS corals, look into metal halide lights. 2x150 or 2x250 watts double-ended MH with or without actinics would be great.
