Answer 1

Generally, clowns aren't hosted by any corals, but there have been a few exceptions. I read in one of the fish magazines (and this has been a while ago) of ricordea and I think it was a hammer coral that hosted anemones, but this would be very unusual. Even these will need more intense lighting, as would any of the anemones that would naturally host them.

You could also try an artificial "anemone". I put one of these in a quarantine one time just to make it more decorative and as a place for fish to hide beneath, and to my surprise, I had a pair of ocellaris that "used" it. I gave in and let them keep it in their regular tank when they were all moved. This is the type I had, but in red: http://www.thatpetplace.com/pet/group/15696/product.web Best of all, these don't require any lighting.
