host for Ocellaris clowns in my 28G sps tank

[mv123]

Hi all,

I have a 28 gallon SPS tank (JBJ, with LEDs), and I just picked up a small pair of tank bred Ocellaris clownfish. I would like to find something for them to host in, but I cannot get an anemone. I do not want to run the risk of a wandering nem stinging and killing my SPS. I know they dont really need a host, but it would be nice to find one to watch them enjoy it.

So, is there something else that you could suggest that has a good chance of the clownfish taking a liking? Perhaps some sort of tentacled coral, or torch/ hammer / bubble coral? Something that the clowns will like, but that will stay in place on the sand or on a low down rock. So, for any of you SPS keepers with clownfish, what has worked?

Thanks,
Marc

I have a torch in my sps tank for my clowns and have no problems. I have it away from everything tho.

Gsp will get annoying. I'd say try a good sized hairy mushroom

I picked up a few heads of Duncans today from my LFS (Ocean Gallery in NJ). He had a big head of it and was nice enough to frag it for me. I will let you guys know if the clowns take to it. Thanks for the help!

Mine are hosted by my Anthelia, but they like to stick themselves between the heads of my large Duncan colony.

BTW..Very conscientious decision to forego the nem in your tank.
