Assuming you mean true perc, your best bet would be H. crispa (sebae anemone). The trick is finding one thats not already bleached or dyed (white and yellow). LTA and haddoni are also sand dwellers but are not the natural host of percular clown so you may have hosting issues.

EDIT: here is what a healthy H. crispa looks like

My percula is hosted by a long tentacle, though it did take her 6 months to find it.

I would avoid any "white" anemones, as they are bleached. Kind of shocked that they are offering it that way.


My SI True perc are hosted by my LTA (Macrodactyla doreensis), it took them 6 days to find it, and now they only leave it to feed.

Solomon Island. They look similar to Onyx percs.

That's probably because the Onyx lineage originates from the Solomon Islands.
