yes it is possible, however maintain really good flow with carpet anemone. They are from shallow tidal zones. And require really good light, and a tidal like current. (they seem to do the best in tanks that have some sort of wave action. ) i kept my large S. gigantea carpet for many years using a zoomed power sweep it provided a stimulated tidal surge.
these anemones also require clowns for nutrition. not only do the fish feed the anemone with leftover particles, ammonium is also absorbed by symbiotic bacteria within the anemone.
keep carbon on hand with these species, they often will breed in the aquarium causing it to go white, and require water change and heavy filtration.
