help! my kenya's not a house

[OrangeKoi]

I just recently added a nice little pair of clarkii to my tank. Today I noticed my kenya tree coral looks abused. Branches bent down and knarled looking...I think my clarkii are hosting it? Will this kind of behavior kill my kenya tree coral? It is rather small too.

I suppose getting an anemone sooner rather than later is the answer, eh?

I have never seen clown fish host in a kenya tree, but any in this world I have come to believe that anything is possible. Never the less, if your kenya dies and you decide to remove the clarkiis, I will send you another, no charge as long as you will pay the postage, and I mean actual postage, this is hobby is my passion not a business. I have a separate frag tank with nine kenyas in it now.

I have a tomato clown that loves my xenia. He has not killed it yet but I can't keep him out of it.

You know the wierdest thing is I have and osilaris that is doing the same thing. I have only had one thing that has managed to kill my xenia. That's my flower pot. It killed two large stalks dead in one day. I don't know if I would worry about a clown killing yours, but if it does I will offer you the same as Orangekoi, just pay the actual shipping and I will send you some more xenia. Otherwise, I have to keep fragging the xenia outand giving it away. It grows and spreads so quick I constantly have to stay on top of it.

Thankyou for the responses and the support via frags. I appreciate it.

They must have changed thier minds about the kenya coral because it looks great today. The larger clarkii was swimming in circles around and through a rock structure, kind of as if she'd found a toy she likes. It's so endearing to see her play that I'll have to reproduce the shape when I move them into the 30 gallon cube.

All the same, I'm glad they are out of the coral and it seems to have survived the trial.

Thanks again.
