occelaris is hosting a strange host...

[invertaman]

He started showing interest in my hawiian feather duster a few months back and he would try to burry himself in it but he only frightened the worm. but eventually I guess the worm got used to him and now he stays nestled in his worm and even sleeps there at night. I'll get a pic if I can. Anyone else have this happen?

[invertaman]

My brother has a false perc that host's a feather duster, pretty wierd. I guess I'll congratulate you on the hosting, it's crazy the things they'll host.

 

[bzotter]

mine hosts in a stand of watermelon mushrooms, I look in there and all I can see is his head poking out from between them.

 

[Apercula]

My A. percula used to host a duster, but has moved on to an anemone since then.

 

[Lmecher]

Look, it's smiling for the camera. cute cute cute!

 

[DuramaxForSnax]

My true Perc hosts my suncoral, and My Black and White Hosts a Huge Fuzzy Mushroom

 

[BeccaB]

My Occ. host in my nem but when Ethel gets mad at Fred and kicks him out he goes to the duster and sleeps there at night, but only if Ethel is really mad and wont let Fred back in the nem.

I saw a Maroon being hosted by a Featherduster at a LFS once. Very cool congrats!

 

[Aerowen]

my true perc hosts a powerhead or a nori clip

 

[soyadrink]

mine hosts a pink featherduster. he literally lies into it. Its pretty cool

 

[sdietz2469]

I am suprised that the dusters put up with them

 

[ihavtats29]

my tomato clown hosts my blasto mussa but i never saw one in a duster , thats pretty cool

 

[onebadgt]

I haven't seen that specifically, but I do have one hosted in a flowerpot coral & in another tank, a mated pair hosted in some yellow polyps.

 

[invertaman]

I just can't figure out why he does it. Isn't the whole reason for clowns to live in anemones for protection, because the anemones (and even some corals) sting. So why would a clown host a worm?

I don't know why the worm puts up with him, but it must be used to it because it won't even pull in if i touch it.
