How about a torch coral? They kind of look like an anemone and aren't nearly as demanding.

Aiptasia lol...

The LFS may tell you that stock lighting is OK for a bubbletip anemone but long term it really isn't, and when an anemone gets sick in a tank that size things can go south really quickly.

The above poster has a good suggestion with a torch coral, (or hammer or frogspawn) - they look a little like an anemone and have been known to host clownfish, just make sure your clown isn't too big for it, they can "love" them to death

I've seen it done on nano-reef.com. With suplimental feedings you could keep a BTA alive with the stock lights but it would not really thrive in the long term.
