There are a few species that could work. Unfortunately, you do have a rather tall tank, so maybe a BTA would be the best choice (as far as "hosting" species are concerned) or a Condylactis. Other species that you could potentially try (though more difficult) would be an LTA or sebae (H. crispa). The latter species is probably the most difficult of the ones I named, but will still do well as far as lighting goes. Feeding is going to be very important, whether you have bright lighting or not.

i kept a rbta under 192watts of pc lighting in a 36x12x24 tank. It did ok. It really liked it when I upgraded to 2 - 250 watt mh.

I've had my LTA(corkscrew) and sebae for about 3 years now.
Lighting is custom sealife dual compacts, 1 10000k 96 and 1 ultra-actinic 96
They were both about 3 or 4" in diameter and now both are 12"
They are as beautiful and healthy as can be.
I am told that I am the exception to the rule.
I see most people w/ anemones have halides, and that is probably the safest route.
My sebae is on the top of LR and LTA about the middle, both haven't moved in years.
I've had clowns taking care of both, spitting food into both anemones and I think this makes a big difference.
I'm not promoting the lower light, and do plan on halides soon for them and other corals I want. This is just my exp.
