We have for several years had a little percula clown in our 180g display that we are converting from general to sps / lps tank. The clown had found a home in a sarcocphyton leather that we removed to a different tank and now is looking for another home. He is currently trying to nestle in a large patch of zoanthids - but these are burning him and causing hyper-melanization syndrome. Can anyone recommend a good inhabitant for an sps tank that would be more appropriate? I'm worried about introducing an anemone to a tank that is intended to be heavy with acro and other sps.. Is there an anemone that would be likely to host him that would not create issues in the tank as it grows out?
Need alternative home for clownfish in sps tank

Elegance coral sometimes they will host it.
S. gigantea. Clown won't host them, but they do host Ocelaris and Percula. They require condition similar to SPS. This is not an easy anemone to take care of. They usually don't move very much and perfect anemone for Percula or Ocellaris, and one of the most beautiful IMO.

I completely agree. The key is finding a healthy specimen, or being able to QT them successfully (which sometimes requires antibiotics).S. gigantea.
