First Anemone with Clownfish

I have just established my first anemone clownfish fish tank. It is a 14 gallon biocube with two false ocelaris (not sure how to spell that word) And paired them with an anemone. I have never had success with anemones in the past and i really wanted a clownfish and anemone relationship so i went out and bought a 14 gallon biocube and read some articles and info about anemones. Then i had put water and live rock from an already established tank and in about 5 or 6 week i got an anemone!
Now it is happy in its spot in a pvc pipe sitting in the top of it. It now lives with its two residents in MY tank! I was amazed to see it all puffed up and happy for the first time in a tank that i own. Although i have had him for only two days it is the best two days EVER!!!!! Right of the bat when the clownfish and anemone were together the larger clown (female) went right to the anemone, and that just made me smile. I will be feeding it shrimp until I can pay my mom back for the tank then I will feed it silver sides . I will have the 10,000 k from 3 o' clock to 9 o'clock and the antic light on from 6am to 3pm then 9pm to 9:10 to recreate the sun rise and sun set for the clownfish. i will feed the anemone every two days.

Here are some pictures of the tank and everything in it...

The stock lighting in a biocube may not be enough to support an anemone. You might want to consider upgrading the lighting soon. But otherwise, sounds great, and good luck.
 
I wouldn't feed it silversides....others here have had bad luck with them....I've taken their advice and just feed my anemone krill every once in a while, and have had no issues at all.
 
It's was once live rock but became dry rock because there wasn't enough room in the tank.
Also today the anemone was HUGE compared to the other pictures I had posted, I feed it some brine shrimp and it has closed up to eat it. The clownfish still went in it even thought it was almost closed up.
Also I'd like to point out that the clownfish are true perks not occelaris, sorry my mistake.
