Hosting anemones are hard to take care of
1st, your inexperianced (not insulting, just saying)
2nd, there wild numbers are decreasing (so if you do get one one day get an aquacultured one)
3rd, tank is too small
4th, tank needs to be mature
5th, having more than 1 anemone in a tank that size would call for total chaos


Fifth advise
Are you sure you cant get a bigger tank? Bigger tanks are easier to take care of parameter wise.

get 10-15 pounds of live rock (assuming you have a 10 US gallon tank), let it cycle, not many fish can fit in a 10 gallon so there isnt much choice of stocking fish wise.
