Anemone?

I baught a False Percula Clown about 2 weeks ago, I also baught an anemone. The guy at the pet shop said it was just a common anemone and it's hit or miss with the clown and of course the clown didnt take it...so has anyone had any luck with a different anemone?

Give it time. My False Percula took a full year to go to the bubble tip anemone I bought. The BTA eventually died (I probably didn't spot feed enough, and my lighting was just PC then), and for three years since he's hosted in my hammer coral.

I assume my fish was tank bred, and if so they don't necessarily come with the hosting instinct.
