Anemone & clown hosting questions

I will be moving my clowns from my 8g to my 15g soon as they are starting to grow and one is becoming the female. I would either like to get them an anemone or a coral to host.

First i do know their is no guarantee that will host an anemone or a coral and might just host one of my powerheads, heater, magfloat, etc but i would like to offer them a bunch of choices in the hope they pick one vs one of my powerheads, and i have three of them in this tank!

Next is my concern on getting an anemone for the size of my tank, is there one that will fit/be happy in this small of a tank & host a pair of clowns? If so which kind?

Last is some coral types that a clown will host, i have heard/read of many but would like some higher chance types vs "mine hosted" as we all know they will host everything. I do have a small frogspawn about half way down my tank, i also have a small torch at the bottom as well as a tiny devils hand, toadstool &; xenia close to the bottom that some have said have worked.

Sorry if i seem sceptical in the ones that i have but in their current home i have most of these corals and they like the corners & powerheads, none of my corals.
 
Im thinking that frogspawn, hammer, toarch, & some softies are the way to go. If i get ones hat say are 2-3 times the size of the fish the chances are higher that they may host one of them, thoughts?
 
I personally have never had clowns that did not seek out some sort of host.
I'm pretty certain a frog or hammer 3x clown size or bigger will lure them right in.
