Yes that anemone is a natural host for those clowns, they should have been in it by now, surpised. But give it time.
You also never said what lights you have on the tank?

Not even close. For comparison. I have a 75 gallon, so on each side, I have 68+ (3) watt cree LED, PLUS (2) T5 54 watt aquablue+, PLUS each anemone gets ATLEAST (1) 100 or 120 watt equivalent daylight clamp on LED lamp aimed at it.
IMO, flow is more important than light, but both are vital.
That fixture you listed says (8) 3 watt LED's? Won't cut it.

No donly the light is not suitable for that anemone.

You should re-home this gig ASAP until you can satisfy its needs.
Updated photo from today. How does it look? I did try to feed it a piece of fresh not frozen shrimp from the grocery store. I stuck it in the middle and curled up around it so I thought it ate it. The next morning I found that piece of shrimp in the corner of my tank. Do I have a picky eater?

How does it look? Still white with turquiose tips, and solid green base. What color will it be?
The last photo was him the first night I got him 11/7/15
Also another photo of my nitrate problem, even after two 50% water changes in three days in this 20 gallon. Any ideas on whether the gig is spiking the tests, and fixng it?

Did you really read the sticky about treating nems, or any other of the threads about treating them? They are usually treated in small tanks like 5-10 gals. The anemone is treated by itself in a hospital tank.
I'm just wondering where you got the idea of treating your tank? I'm assuming that you are talking about treating your tank since you're asking if it would hurt the fish.
