Non-anemone Perc hosting

[gdr]

Anyone here have any luck with thier true percs hosting in corals like frogspawn or hairy mushrooms or polyps? I want to find a good host that likes PC lighting.

They will host, but encouraging this may not always be the best thing since corals/polyps don't particularly appreciate the host. I've had leathers and other soft corals take a dive due to the pestering of 1 single clownfish.

my 2 false percs finally have started hosting....of all things a patch of hair algae......had them since juvi's and it's been about a year before they have found interest in hosting besides staying by the powerheads...go figure

frogspawns and hammers are best from what i've seen, little bother to the coral. also gsp
