Could a clownfish host with any corals???

[gen1dustin]

I was just wondering which this may sound dumb, but is there any possibility of a clownfish hosting with any type of corals? Like say a long tentacle plate coral or torch coral?

I agree, they are not too peticular.

Mine hosted a featherduster when in the 55 gallon, does not host anything now in the 125. I read on here that if it is tank raised and not caught in the wild it may not host at all. I have also read on here that if you tape a picture of a clown hosting an anemone to the outside glass facing in, it will help them get the idea.

Cool, I'm definately getting tank bred then. I didn't want to spend the cash on metal halides at this time, but clowns hosting are cool. I've heard about that before hoy taping a pic of a clown hosting. Weird, but I'll try it once I get to that stage. My tank is still cycling but not much longer.

Here, what do ya think? These are just a few. They got to the zoos, xenia, candy cane, mushrooms, toadstool, and just about anything in the tank...

What coral is this the clown is hosting, a leather toadstool? How fast do those grow if I got a small frag at my LFS?

My pair are in a big torch right now. I have a beautiful Sebae in there and they like the torch better. They used to go between them, but they like the coral better.

i have a clown and LT plate coral and he doesnt go near it. i think i just have the bad luck of getting a clown that doesnt wanna host anything

i also have a ton of other corals in there and he just stays in the corner being lame lol
