Clowns can be hosted by many different corals... this should be fine.

I believe it'll be fine......however, the coral book I am reading at the moment claims clowns hosting in corals can do more harm than good. They're activities in and around the tenticles can cause leasions (sp?) leading to disease. ??? Wish I could shed some light on it, however, I haven't seen this--I'm just passing along some information :jumping: :jumping: :jumping:

If you're referring to the coral getting the lesions, you're absolutely right. Sometimes clowns can be to rough on the host coral causeing distress or injury and sometimes death. Luckily, this is a pretty rare occurence though.
