Do clowns host that?

It looks like a Condy, which isn't a natural host for clowns.

 

[Gig 'em]

definitely a condy

Yeah, Condylactis gigantea I would say, common name Haitian condy. They get very large and are reputedly quite hardy. They do need strong lighting, as much as soft corals or LPS. They originate from the Caribbean where there are no clownfish, but occasionally clowns take to them in aquariums. I've heard that they will occasionally eat clownfish too.

Thanks, I bought it from the LFS cheap and thought it was pretty. Then, I just looked up and it said that I should put it in a reef... I'm attempted to put it in the my fish only...

As long as you don't have fish that may eat or peck at it or small slow swimming fish that may get eaten, you should be okay.

Sorry, It was a typo. Its in my reef now but I read somewhere that says it's not a good choice for reef since it will sting coral. Im attempted to put in my FOWLR or just give it away. I don't want 18 bucks to ruin my tank.
