this one will help? will percs host it?
 
not likely. are the only likely hosts.
Heteractis crispa, Purple Long Tentacle Anemone, Leathery Anemone
Heteractis magnifica, Magnificent Anemone, Ritteri Anemone, Red Radianthus Anemone
Stichodactyla gigantea, Giant Carpet Anemone
Are the only likely hosts.
 
Im going to recommend the LTA right now. I think that will be best for your skill set. Carpets are asking for problems unless you get one of those dwarf carpets, and those things are roving fish eaters.
 
Clowns will host anything when they are ready, just let them do what they do. Mine likes to host my Tangs Nori come feeding time. She will lay in it while everyone eats around her then when it's gone, hosts the inside of a clam shell in a corner on the ground. My youngest of the 4 just started hosting my torch coral.

Well yes they CAN host anything, but nems mite eat them if they don't like the type of clown, also diferent nems have different sting strength, some clowns may not have the resistance required. So in the case of nems hosting is pretty specific. As for carpet it has to be giant, the minis don't host anything even in the wild. I agree LTA is your best bet.
 
I will tell you that the sabae that was pictured hosts very few types of clowns, and theyre not a beginner anemone.
