True Percs hosting in a Torch Coral?

[benf]

I just put a pair of Percs in my tank and the male keeps trying to host in the Torch...not too worried about the coral, but am concerned about the health of the clown. The Male keeps swimming into it, but then he will wiggle like the torch irratated him. Should i not worry about it...just havent seen a clown host in a torch. Havent seen the Female go into the torch yet!

The last pair of percs i had hosted in my Colt and Hairy Mushrooms.

Clownfish get very aggressive at times with their hosts and I have always advised against allowing a clown to host in LPS. LPS have skeletons under that flesh that could become irritated if a clownfish became so harsh that it punctured it or anything.


Just my .02

mine are not doing damage at all to my frogspawn and its polyp extension is just as good or better
my clowns are very small still

Fishy thank you it has colored up really nicely
i know lots of people worry about their lps with clowns if the lps is having trouble you will see it

I should have said....I wouldn't allow MY clown to host in my LPS but everybody has experiences.:rollface:

PS- your frogspawn is beautiful BTW.
