clown in a zooanthid?

[chbarber]

I have a cinnamon/tomato pair that has been together for about 8 months. The smaller one is hosting a large cluster of zooanthids in my tank. The larger one is around the same area but will not get in the zooanthids. Is this normal for them to host a colony of zooanthids? Also, if the larger one is still in the same area(no farther than 5 inches from the smaller at all times) are they more than likely still paired? I am going to try to add a small ceramic tile to see if they can use it to lay eggs. Thanks.

i've read where clownfish host heaters & powerheads. seems pretty normal to me.

but i'd be concerned for the zoas. constant agitation can't be good for it....

I have a false percula that's been hosting in a zooanthid colony for a few months now. The zooanthids are still growing like a weed, and the fish appears to be in better condition than ever! My LFS said that some clowns will host in just about anything.

My true percs (avitar) are now hosting my Lrg MagFloat and have not even come close to the blue carpet. The do bed down in my green star polyps when the lights go out.
