Clown behaviour

[God of thunder]

My black clown recently started hosting my toadstool, which is a good thing. I have some questions though.
1. Is this bad for the coral?
2. The clown is completly healthy, but he jst lies in the coral motion less??, almost as if he´s sleeping, is thar normal?

1. Toadstools are pretty hardy, but clowns can be pretty agressive with their hosts - keep an eye on the situation, and if the toadstool looks like it is having some issues, you should perhaps move it. With the movement of an item, it is as if the whole tank has been re-aquascaped and the clown may find a new item to host.

2. I hear that is pretty normal - the host is their house and their protection (so they think), so sometimes they do "put their feet up" and relax. If he doesn't leave it when you feed the tank, you should probably worry about it.
