Most corals my clowns decided to live in have semed upset, and after awhile got used to it and went back to normal business, but I did have a finger leather that never did recover.....he used to shake the entire thing around while rubbing. Mine currently lives in a toadstool, and they both look as happy as can be. Hopefully, it will adjust.....some will, some won't......mine even curls over him like a bvlanket at night.....it did take awhile for the leather to adjust to the clown always being in him though.....day and night. Good luck. Here's a happy pair at night......the clown has to rub on him and bother him....now this is still hardly understood, but I believe to cover himself with the mucus of the coral....this way when a clown touches a coral, or normally an anemone, the creature can't even tell that it is not himself....he just knows the mucus. This is why clowns, in my opinion, have to dance all around when first hosting in anything....they need to coat their own skin with the hosts mucus to fool it into not noticing it touching it.
