Trachy/clown relationship... Should I worry?

[ReefWhatYouSow]

So over time I have found that my clownfish are becoming more and more familiar with my trachy. I've read the one-off stories of the fish being eaten but should I really worry?

Yes. Clowns can damage corals.

Yes. Clowns can damage corals.

By rubbing on them? Or more from pecking at them for food?

Cause right but they are just trying to lay on it and rub against it.

Agreed, at some point you have to understand, while you set the tank up, the clowns live there. You can remove the coral, the clowns will pick something else. The only way not to have them not go to something, is not to have them.

I had a pair just destroy a Duncan coral one time. The constant interaction just became too much.

Should I start fishing? Or just keep an eye on them?

My clown hosts my Indo torch during the day and my frogspawn at night dosent really seem the corals to be unhappy . At night he hosts the frogspawn right next it/ under he's shippers big crater in the sand and that's his spot

My clowns host my colt coral and my leather coral with no harm. They tried hosting a sebae anemone and he couldn't take it and hit.

So go figure. I would watch them but if the coral doesn't mind, it's fine.

My bubble coral doesn't seem to mind either... Lighting struck I guess...

Interesting. My bubble did mind and was retracting more and more. The clown has therefore been rehomed.
