What type of clowns?
Bubble tip anemones are generally accepted by most clowns. Long tentacle and carpets are secondary and tertiary choices, but can be more aggressive with corals later.
 
They will be regular clowns, clarkies?

Clarkiis will host in anything! They are not in the slightest bit picky. i would consider a member of the Euphyllia family (frogspawn, hammer, torch, etc.)
These corals will not crawl around and invariably end up in the powerheads like most anemones will and do!
 
Thank you aqua, will any of those corals need special lighting? Right now I am just using a 5000k regular florecent bulb

Agreed they will host everything, I've even had them host my clams.

You most definitely will need to upgrade your lighting to keep any nem or LPS corals.
