Clown rubbing on Candycane at night

[richy31884]

I have a Clown that at night will be sleeping on he Candycane. My candycanes at night open up with the clear tentacle things. Should I be worried? If so how do I stop the clown from doing it? The coral looks healthy.

If the candy cane looks good I wouldn't worry. My clown pair hosted a candy cane colony for a while too. At first the candy cane receeded for a while but eventually became used to the 'love' the clown gave it from time to time.

My pair do the same thing and never hurt the coral.

might even be symbiotic if the clown feeds the coral.

I have a pair of ocellaris clowns that just found my duncan. Things do not seem to be going very well. It's closed up most of the time now. The fish are not constantly bothering it, just every now & then. It seems to be more than enough though. I really hope my coral will get used to the "love" and bounce back to normal. Relocation might be the next step.
