More developed tank, a couple questions

I have a 10 gallon tank that has a clownfish, a spotted watchman goby, some liverock, a tiny zooanthid polyp colony, and some hermit crabs.
I was looking to get an anemone, because I know the clownfish likes them. My question is this:
What is a good anemone, that is pretty easy to keep, and doesn't need the strongest lighting available? (What would be good for my tank)
Also, what else would be good to put in the tank? cleaner shrimp? A small fish?
One last question! :) If I am going to get an anemone, how am I going to feed it?

Im not 100% sure, I am not at my house right now. What I do know is that it is a single bulb that has some blues in it, and is sorta a purplish tint

think of it this way....anemones feed off of the light you provide them with. if your lighting is less than adequate the anemone will be short lived. a dead anemone in a 10 gal tank will surely wipeout your entire tank if not removed promptly followed by some water changes. the equipment we buy for our tanks are the life support system of our tanks. when in this hobby you need to think about the needs of the fish, corals and inverts and not the impact on your wallet. it is better to wait untill you have the money to buy the proper lighting rather than buy something you know won't live for long in your tank because of insufficient lighting.
