Look in the "Anemones and Clownfish" forum for the info you need.

Also be aware if it's a tank-bred Percula it might not take to an anemone.

But def look into that forum.

First you should realize that care for an anemone is not trivial. You need to have specific conditions for them (lighting, flow, etc), good husbandry (regular target feeding) and patience as they may (ie. will) crawl around your tank and may sting-kill other corals.

My clowns are tank bred (as are many hobbyists) and given enough time and perhaps some coaxing will host an anemone.

My advice would be to start with the Anemone FAQ at:
http://www.carlosreef.com/AnemoneFAQ.pdf

After reading that, go the the Anemone & Clownfish Forum and read some more:
