Clown in a Hammer coral

Will a Clown host a hammer coral?

No, but a clown might use a hammer coral as a host.

I can Imagine a clownfish epoxy'd to a rock and a hammer coral swimming around rubbing against it.

OK,Ok, you know what I meant. The clown epoxy'd to a rock thing IS funny though!!

There shouldn't be a difference between hosting a hammer coral and hosting a torch coral, since the torch and hammer are in the same family. I know my clown has been living within the tentacles of my torch coral for about 3 years now, mostly without problem to either of them. I guess the hammer could be different since it's shorter tentacled, and possibly denser tentacled, however I've had success and I know many other people who have had success with having their clowns live within the tentacles of torch corals.
