It is usually the best idea to get a natural host for the clown, even if it is tank raised. Unfortunately false perc's natural hosts are 2 of the most difficult to keep anemones, the Gigantea and the Magnificent, and one that will eat your fish, the Haddoni.

BTA's are typically considered the easiest to keep, but it is never a given that clownfish will go to any anemone. BTA's will typically move around the rock work more than most anemones as well.

A couple of sand dwelling anemones that would cause less destruction to corals are sebae and long tenacle. Make sure if you get a sebae it is not white or yellow. These are most certainly doomed to die.

As paddyob pointed out, if you are going to try to get it to go to an anemone, remove the brain as it already considers this its home.
