Pretty simple but im in the market for a pair of tomato clowns, I have a 75 gallon. What is the best Anemone for a pair of tomatos and by best i mean most likely for them to host in. Thanks for the help and this is my first post!

Welcome.
Either an E. quadricolor (( BTA )) or an M. doreensis (( LTA )), will work. But, they do have different care requirements.
What size tank do you have?
What lights?
How long has it been set up?
Sandbed? If so, how deep?
Current water parameters --- with numbers please.
What else do you have in the tank?

Honestly, with that bio-load I wouldn't want to add an anemone to that tank. At least 4 of those fish are going to outgrow your tank is time.
I would watch the trigger with the lion fish -- they like to nip at the fins.
Also, watch out for the lion going after the clowns.
But, if you would still get an anemone I would suggest an E. quadricolor.

That is a lot of "dirty" fish which can lead to some pretty nasty nitrate swings which stress out nems. Plus the trigger, lion and wrasse will eventually knock out any cleanup crew only increasing the likelihood of upward nitrate swings. Not saying you can't do it, just saying you shouldn't as it will likely make things more difficult and cost you money.
