Can I anemone.

I have a few questions.
First off I realize I can't add one until the tank is well established. That being said. I'd like to later add one in hopes it will host my clowns. If not its fine because I could watch them all day anyways.

1. I have a Fluval edge led. Is that enough for an anemone? (lfs said it was) if not, what would it take to improve the lighting enough to house an anemone?
2. What would be best for my two Ocellaris?
 
What size tank? I am not familiar with that LED, but if it's for a 6 gallon tank,it certainly wouldn't be sufficient for a hosting species of anemone. Ocellaris are naturally hosted by H. magnifica and S. gigantea, probably the two most difficult species of anemone to successfully keep, if you look at survival rates. Sometimes ocellaris will take up with other species of host anemones, such as Entacmaea quadricolor, but it's certainly not a sure bet. The easiest host species is E. quadricolor. For that species you will need at least a 20 gallon, preferably a 30 gallon, reef quality lighting, good to excellent water quality, and an established tank.
