Unless you have very good lighting (ie. Metal Halides ideally), anemones tend to be hard to keep because they like high light. No, clownfish do not require anemones, especially captive-raised ones which may have never even seen an anemone before. Many clowns host toadstool corals or other corals. Mine love my rhodactis mushroom.
Locally, (Lower Mainland), J&L and King Ed's are in Burnaby and I like Coral Ocean in Vancouver (Boundary & Kingsway area). I tend to stay away from buying fish any more from Big Al's. Ocean Aquatics is good, but way out in Delta.
