I have a little anemone and he is doing just fine. Put them up near the top and they do fine. I am surprised at how great it is doing. It eats well, it has a beautiful color, and it closes and opens with the light cycle. It is one of the harider ones, the Sebae.
i had a sebae once, it got so big i had to take it out lol

Yeah I have stock lighting. I hand feed. Anemones only usually stick to the glass if they have no sand or rock to put their foot in. The ones you see at a LFS usually have no sand or rocks to get into so that when someone buys one, they can be easily removed. I dripped acclimated my sebae and then used a plastic bag to transfer him and put him where I wanted him to be. At first, I put him in the sand but I woke up to find the little bugger at the mouth of my cave. So, I found a piece of live rock with a good, deep hole in it so that it would feel safe and attach itself there. Now, he sits at the front of my tank!
I didn't do much research on anemones before I bought my first one and that was a mistake. I bought a beautiful bubble anemone and it looked healthy at the LFS but come to find out, it wasn't. I floated him and put him in my tank, what the LFS told me to do, and it went into shock I guess and died. Plus, bubble anemones aren't very hardy. That was a mistake listening to the LFS guy instead of doing my own research. Lesson learned.
So if you get one, drip acclimate, be careful when transfering to your tank, wear a glove or plastic bag, put it near the top but not up enough so that it cannot extend fully, and lastly pick a hardier anemone like a Sebae.

From what I have read, clowns may or may not host any anemone so it is basically chance. Some anemones only host host certain clown species but it is just really chance. It may or may not happen. I would like my clown to host but if it doesn't, the anemone is still a nice addition imo.
Some bubble anemones, tube anemones like the Sebae, aiptasia are all hardy but they are still all very fragile. But, bubble anemones are brightly and beautifully colored for a reason so that they capture certain wavelengths of the light spectrum. So, under pc lights I would not suggest them.
The only thing I could think of for certain success for hosting is to get an anemone/clown pair that are already symbiotically living together. They have some deals like that at my LFS.
