Dilemma.... advice???

Trying again
Today I went to my LFS to see what corals they got in. The day before they got in a 2nd wild caught percula that I like so I paid for it and they put it in a seperate tank reserved for me. Today I went in, and in that take is an anemone that hes already hosting... I'm heart broken, don't know what to do... all my instincts say to get it because the clown is happy as can be. But I don't know if the anemone will survive. I have a 12g nanocube DX. It has 48w of PC light. I don't have many corals in there right now, just a hammer and 2 small zoa frags. I was wondering if you guys think that an anemone would survive under these conditions??? I was thinking 48w may be enough since its not a very deep tank so its pretty much intense any where in that tank, as compared to a tank thats 24" deep or w/e. Its kinda hard to explain but I think you guys may know what I'm talking about. I just wanted to know what you guys think??? Should I seperate the clown and anemone or take the chance with him in the 12g??? My LFS says its a Green Bubble Anemone, but it has no green on it at all... just brownish/gold. But i'm pretty sure it is a bubble anemone. I'm open to everyones thoughts.

I forgot to add, I COULD also buy 2 12" 36W PC Strips from my LFS, but the cost of that and the anemone would be an unexpected buy.. The anemone is $40, and the lights would be like $80.
Or do you think I should just split the anemone and the clown???
 
They don't need the anemone, that's a myth. :) Just get the clownfish.

Your tank does not have enough lighting for the BTA, also with such a small tank if the anemone moves or dies it will harm your other corals.
 
Well, I could upgrade the light to the 2 36W and I know they don't need the anemone. I also don't have a problem with just getting a couple corals AFTER the anemone settles down.
