To start, understand that clownfish don't "need" anemone's. Also, there is no guarantee that the clown will even take to the anemone.
That being said, here is what they need in a nut shell.
1 - Excellent water quality
2 - Good circulation
3 - Strong lighting, preferably metal halide.
4 - Meaty foods such as squid, silversides, etc. fed several times a week.
5 - LR with crevices to attach to and hide under.

What size tank? That is going to be a factor.
You can keep an anemone under VHO's or PC's, but I would still recommend at least a 250w metal halide.

Changed today. Been a while so I thought I'd mix it up a little. That's my yellow and blue tang in the pic.
Thanks for letting me know about the other post. Definitely seems covered.
