its alright to temporarily turn ur current off but im not sure if its good to do it on a regular basis.

First thing to pop in my head was...how large ie. GPH and placement in the tank.

What size powerhead do you have in that 14gal? I've not heard of anyone needing to turn their powerheads off with a timer. If it's a matter of your clown getting used to the current in the tank, as long as you have some places where the current is a little less, they'll figure it out and adapt to the new environment.

Both my clowns stay in the same spot at night. Yes, they are resting.

^Yep, the clowns are resting, I don't have any anemones and mine curl up on the rock for a snooze.
