Clown "hosting" in Zenia

[mid-western]

My Maroon Clown fish seems to have adopted one of the pulsating zenias in our tank. After our anemone died, our clown seemed lost. Last week my wife mentioned to me that he was rubbing in and around the zenia in the middle of the rockwork. Sure enough, today I watched for a while and the clown has really "taken up residence." Is it unusual for clown to do this?

Common.

It's not uncommon for clowns to host in corals. I have seen them in Frogspawn, Hammer coral, Xenia, Brains, and even Clams.

No, not to me a friend had his clowns in his xenia's but they ended up killing them after a few weeks, so be prepared for a possible loss.
