i've had this guy for about two weeks now with a maroon clow that has not hosted to him yet. as you can see from pic. he has released from the black rock in the corner.will these guys crawl around the tank or should i place him on a new rock? what type of anemone is he? and will this type of clown host to this anemone? thanks for the input.

looks like a condylactis anemone. Clownfish do not host these in the wild so they are very hard to get to host in captivity. Not to say it hasn't happened, just not as likely. They have also been known to eat a clownfish trying to host.

Take the anemone back to the local fish store for some in store credit. It will not thrive under the lighting you have. If you want to keep an anemone in a 110 gallon tank you are going to need about 6- 8 of those bulbs or a metal halide addition. You are not getting enough PAR to the bottom of that tank to support this creature.
