reefgeek84 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 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... Lets see everyone else's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael7979 Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 Mine started out in hairy mushrooms and then went to his anem., but always went in and out of the hairy mushrooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 My percula hosts in the frogspawn, hammer and RBTA, spending most of his time in the RBTA. Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DChemist Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 mine is a dud....... 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impur Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopens Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 mine hosted my cleaning magnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyles Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzypop Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
