What can clowns host in?

[trinidado]

I would like to know the different kinds of coral that clownfish can host in other than nemmies. (And the ones they like the most)
So far I have:
Frogspawn
Hammer
Leathers
Torch

Thanks!

Mine love my frogspawn, I cant get them out of it.

I think your list pretty much sums up the corals clowns tend to like. I have heard of clowns living in mushrooms. The only other one I could think of but, im not sure about is a large long tentacle plate coral.

I have one that sleeps in my Xenia.

athelia (sp) and zoas my false percs hosted in a large colonie of zoas. Till the zoas melted away do to the rough hosting of the clowns.

My Ocellaris host a large hairy mushroom. They switch back and forth between the mushroom and my rose or I should say roses.

Well I thought my Picasso clowns were weird because they were in a trachy brain, now they're in a large colony of yellow polyps. But I think the strangest so far is a fellow RC member has pics of his clowns hosting a CLAM! LOL! His thread is in the clam section and you have to see it! Unbelieveable!

Here's a link to it:

Large sinularia (they love it) and a large turbinaria. My also have/are hosting a torch, hammer, frogspawn, pincushion leather and large mushroom leather.

Thanks for the replies! It is so interesting that the clown would host in clam. Especially inside!

Very cool.

That was the wierdest thing I have ever seen. I can't believe the clam did not close up. Thank you for sharing.
