What type of anemone is this?

Will a clown host in this?

Not in nature...but sometimes A. clarkii will go in it (and I think I've heard of Maroon clowns going in them too?) in the aquarium. They should be given lots of light, fed occasionally, and moderate to strong current.

Any chance of a percula clown to host in one of these in an aquarium?

Probably not. Percs will host in lots of things besides anemones though...colt corals, xenia, mushrooms, rubber koosh balls...do a search and you'll probably find lots of examples. They naturally host in carpet anemones, which are difficult to keep. Are you sure you have a perc? The fish in your avatar looks like an ocellaris to me...if so, these will sometimes go in bubble tip anemones.

...as a matter of fact:

Looks like an ocellaris to me...but yes, strange things can happen. IIRC, one of the mods of this board had a clown host in a large clam, so anything is possible!

I just saw in the LFS a tomato clown go in a condy for the first time just like that...
