2 pairs of percular clowns in 165 gallon?

will this be ok? 6 ft long by 22 by 24 inches. Would I need two anemones or just one? I want naked clowns and a pair of snowflakes.

I wouldn't do it. It might work in the short term, but once one of the pairs starts to spawn, all bets are off.

That is going to assume that the anemones would stay there, and that the clown pairs wouldn't want the same anemone.

Even in a perfect world, there is still going to be a risk -- and if it goes wrong, could end up with 2 dead clowns. I still wouldn't try it, but you have to weigh the hassles if it doesn't work -- catching them, and finding a new home for them.
