How long has your tank been established for after the cycle?
What lighting system do you have?
Anemones need very stable water conditions and high lighting to thrive.
And I'd be weary about keeping 6 clowns in a single tank. Two may pair off when they mature and kill the rest.

Tank size: 55-gal
Tank age: started <5 months
Lighting: two dual fixtures 1-Power Glo 30w
-Coralife 10,000k Super Daylight
2-Power Glo 30w
-Coralife Trichromatic 6500k Full Spectrum
All the bulbs do need replaced. What kind of bulbs do I need to look for?
Also, I am going to try to catch the Black & White perc's tonight and put them in the 55-gallon. Give it a little color for a few months. It has been running for about three weeks and tow blue damsels have been in there for about two weeks.

It sounds like you have normal output lights? That wouldn't be enough to support an anemone.
IMO you should have 4x65 watt power compact lights, or two 150 or 250 watt metal halides.
For your lights right now I'd go with two 10,000k bulbs and two actinic blues. You still wouldn't be able to keep anemones, but mushrooms and zoanthids would do fine.
