My Clown is hosting!

[crypt keeper]

I just bought new clowns about 2 weeks ago. They didnt have anything to host at the LFS that i bought them in. Well today I noticed my male was all over my coral. I forget the name. Its not an anenome.
Its cool as hell to just watch him swim all over it. Hide and then come out and go back in. My female wants nothing to do with it.

the coral is a gonopora, thats sweet. just wait, the other one will start hosting it too, and they're going to protect it from everything. The coral probably likes it

also my female looks sick though. she just stays at the top of the tank hovering and breathing really fast. Not eating. i dont know what to do. my male swims everyhwere. now is hosting and eats like a pigs.
My female never has her dorsal fin up in the air. just looks sickly. her eyes are sorta sunken in. Not popped out like the normal clown. Should I throw her in QT to see whats up or do you think she will be fine. Been like this for 2 days

lucky! I wish my clowns would host something... maybe if I ever get a frogspawn in there they will host it lol. IMO clowns look the coolest when they are in a host and just kinda poping there heads out to see whats going on

I have a nice small piece of frogspawn in my tank on the other side. Its too small for them to host as of right now. I thought it would host the Xenia but it took to the gonopora that i just bought about 3 days ago.

Well as i wrote this my female stopped breathing. She was just gulping and started to sink down on her side. I took her out and ended it. Really sucks. They were a pair. Now I have to go buy a new one.
