Crazy dang clowns and what they wanna host.

[uf_gators]

well my O's have been hosting different things since a year ago. at first it was the mag float, then they moved to the BTA, and now I just caught one of them in the elegance coral. But that can't be a good thing ,can it ? Meaning, can't the elegance sting the clown ? maybe I am just being over protective, but just concerned. along with laughing at him in the same process. I will get a Pic of ,it . when he starts again.:lmao:

The elegance is a stinging coral with similar stinging cells to an anemone. If the clown has built a tolerance to it then it should be fine to associate with the EC. It may however irritate the EC, I have heard they do not like being agitated much at all.

I put a magnifica in my tank and my clown fish have not left it since. Natural host clowns love most.

my friends pair hosted his MJ1200 in the back corner. hehe no one said they were the smartest fish.

I have a pair of O's hosting in my tie dye wellso. No issues with the clowns and the wellso is still huge. I dont think wellso's sting but I know they are easily agitated

They will even host a turbo snail with hair algae on the move

My Perc's love my Turbinaria. It's very anemone shaped though, they've been in it for about 5 years.

I should add they've actually tried feeding it.

I had my picasso host my elegance coral for 6 months until some bad conditions befell my lps tank and I moved it to the BTA tank. It looked healthy with the clown in it but it did shrink up a bit. I found it hard to feed also because the clown would tear out the food. It was a beautiful combo though. I really would keep an eye on it because I cant tell for sure that it didnt take a nose dive months later do to me moving the tank across town or the clownfish. But here is a vid pardon the funny music lol.
