ok i want o get 2 false percula clowns and i want them to host an anemone. since they are tank bred where i will get them form they wont really have any clue what their natural host is in the ocean. so what anemone should i go with for them that i will have the most chances of them hosting.

Read the above post. Also, the three natural hosts (Magnificent, giant carpet, Merten's carpet) are not usually the best anemones to keep for various reasons without experience.

That will leave you with LTA or BTA which aren't natural hosts but will usually be adopted by the clowns. Which of these you choose will be determined by your current lighting, setup, etc.
My pair of ocellaris occupied a hammer coral even with anemones present. A LFS had a pair living in a clam.

BTW: All other host anemones might work but they are harder to keep so I didn't list them.
