CLowns+torch=?

[i2go]

Hello,
My two false percs are hosting my torch(about 5 heads), and i was wondering if they will damage the heads in any way?Because i know a small anemone might be roughed up by clowns sometimes. They usually just swiggle in a head, but when the torch is out, and the lights are on, they usually just stay near the torch.

The torch should be fine. It is common for clownfish to host a torch coral. Percs are not typically as rough on anemones as some of the other clownfish. How "small" of an anemone are you talking about? And how big are your percs?

Well i just heard that if the anemone is too small, it might get beated up. My clowns are an inch and an inch and 1/2. When the lights are out the torch is bigger, is it common that the clown doesnt go in it.

Yes it is common. But may change.
