If you're talking about your 20-gal tank, then no anemones would be suitable. The tank is too small.

It the tank were a little larger, say at least 30-40 gallons, then you might be able to keep an Entacmaea quadricolor (bubble tip anemone). Unfortunately, it is not a natural host for Percula Clowns (Amphiprion percula). It's not a natural host for Ocellaris Clowns (A. ocellaris) either but they will usually accept it as a surrogate host in captivity.

Check out this article on host sea anemones.

P.S. -- The natural hosts for A. percula are: Heteractis crispa; H. magnifica; Stichodactyla gigantea.
