coral hosts??

[keekalmatter]

Is it true that clownfish will host in a torch coral?

if so are there any other corals that they will host in?

They MAY host a torch coral, or any of the other euphyllia species. I've seen them in zoa's, mushrooms, leathers, xenia, kenya tree, and others.

My Ocellaris pair will occasionally host my frogspawn...i feel bad for the coral because it's only about the size across as my female, but it doesn't seem to retract or be bothered at all and I can see some new skeleton growth, so it can't be hurting it too much. It's usually only one of them in it at a time during the night, and not every night.

I'm prepared to separate the frogspawn from them should it start to show signs of stress or anything like that, as clowns CAN damage corals by hosting them.
