I have a 36 gallon tank with every thing ready. All I need is fish, corals, and anemones. Which should I choose?

It is easier to provide a whish list and people will comment on it. You must have an idea of what you want.

Yes, I have a wish list. I wish to buy: 2 true percula clown fish, 1 royal gramma, and 1 damselfish.

Also what type of corals are you thinking of? You also mentioned an anemone, what type of lighting will you be running?
Two Percs and a Royal would be nice instead of the damsel you could go with a Blenny.

About the corals and anemone. I was thinking of a Magnificent Sea Anemone and the corals, I don't know.

How many fish ultimately is decided by what fish you get. In my 40 I had a pair of juvenile ocellaris clowns, a Tailspot blenny, a mandarin (ate frozen and had a fuge), a goby, a flasher wrasse and a coral beauty angelfish.

Since you want an anemone, you'll need a strong light, so you'll be able to keep most corals so its really a matter of preference.

What kind of lighting? 10000k is just a measurement of color temperature.

No, you're looking at a minimum of a 6 bulb T5HO unit with new brand name bulbs for an anemone. That will cost you between the $300 and $400 range.
Why don't you experiment with keeping fish alive first, before jumping into corals and anemones? Take baby steps before you jump in. Read a few good hobbyist books like the Conscientious Marine Aquarist by Bob Fenner and a slew of others. Read some guides on this site. Here's a good start: https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/388776/guides-for-new-hobbyists
Take it slow and easy. Post a picture of your tank and let us know your water parameters, water flow, and some more about the equipment you are using. Let us know what your water change schedule is like, and what salt you are using. Let us know some more about your tank before we recommend critters to keep. This is to keep you from spending an unnecessary amount of money on livestock, only to have it perish because you weren't informed about it when you purchased.
Remember, Baby steps.
Welcome to the forums, I hope you enjoy your stay.
