Galaxea........ and clowns hosting it?!

[pompeyjohn]

So I am not sure if they are hosting it, but my two (occy) clowns are spending a lot of time next to my galaxea colony. One has marks from being stung, and yet they still seem to hover around it.

Does anyone know if this relationship will be okay long term?

I have a pair of clowns (false percs) that host my galaxea. They have for as long as I've had the coral. The male slips down into it and disappears. The female attacks my hand whenever I get to close too the galaxea while cleaning. The only time they ever get more than 3 inches away from it is when they are eating. I worry more about the coral than the fish. They rub on it so much that I'm afraid they are going to rub off all the delicate fibers. I've never seen any marks on the clowns from stings though.
