I think it is interesting when a clown does not have an anenome to host to, that they will pick something else... here is mine and his set or polyps...

Mine started out in hairy mushrooms and then went to his anem., but always went in and out of the hairy mushrooms.

Mine likes the red mushroom rock, but has also hosted in an anthelia (and then proceeded to rip it apart :eek:), a finger leather and the candy cane.
The mushrooms are definitely her favorite, though.

Ours loves the Colt. Don't stick your hand anywhere near it or POW!!! He snacks on your flesh.

mine is a dud.......

I have frogs, hammer, seabae en., green bubble en., and all the others he has nothing to do with them... I think he is trying to host with my tank cleaning magnet.....

and no he wasnt caught with cyanide and brain dead... an actual MAC certified fish... LOL, I think he needs to see a fish psychiatrist.

Mine too. Though he(she?) doesn't have many choices; hairy mushroom, pulsing xenia and green star polyps. Mine seems to be hosting a powerhead.

I've read a good way to help coax them into what you want them to host in, is to use a cutout of another clown and tape it to the outside of the tank near that coral you want it to host. Never tried it, but sounds interesting.

My Tomato Clown has given up his powerhead for pulsing xenia. How's your 'dud' doing?

Mine have been hopping around, mostly kicking around the Torches though there was a day or two there where one was annoying the heck out of my Crocea clam... the Clown would swim over and start to settle in on the mantle, the clam would freak and close, causing the Clown to jump and swim away. Repeat.

Fortunately, he knocked it off. Nobody messes with my clam. (nono)

Mine host to anything man made, if there is coral... he wont go near it.
My first post ther clown I had then I think finally hosted to my sebae, but I think the sebae ate him. could be wrong though. All predatary fish have been removed and brittle star removed to sump as well. Since I had no clue what offed him.

My first reef tank my clown hosted the overflow teeth. She would just go up to it and stick herself there all day long. First time I saw it I thought she was dead and went to pull her out and she nipped at me. Scared the heck out me. One of oddest things I have seen but then she eventually found an RBTA when the power was out, no suction on the overflow and she found my rbta and to this day still hosting 2 years later. That's her in my sig but I have pics of her attached to the overflow on my old computer I'll try and find one of these days

One of our BTA's move right by the colt. He still won't host it. Weird fish. (nutty)

My clown likes her crispa just fine. She smothers it with love. I swear....when I wake up my clownfish when the lights go on she will stay in bed for half an hour b4 showing her sleepy eyes sometimes. And yes I can see the sleepy looking eyes when she first wakes up. Anyone else know that look?(scratch)

Shes looking a tad bit overweight in this picture ya think?
