Clownfish and torch or hammer coral

[kiran523]

Is it possible for a clownfish to take to a Torch (4") or Hammer (3"). The last time I bought a clownfish was with two other fish (Six line & Goby). The Clownfish was swimming around the tank like he was lost while the other two found hiding spots. The next day he was dead. He did not have any signs of being attacked. The LFS got the clownfish from ORA. My little niece really wants me to get a "Nemo" fish, as do I. But, not at the cost of sending him to RIP prematurely. Can I get some advise please

It is possible for them to take to a Torch or Hammer coral. My Nemo takes to a rock that has 4 stalks of Xenia around the top. Clownfish do not have to host in anything to live. My clownfish has only been with the Xenias about 3 months but nothing before that.

I just bought a couple of Ocellaris (sp) Clowns Thursday and the larger one is starting to host in a Torch coral I have. Not too sure how happy the coral is yet. I'll try to snap a picture too.
