Hi all, I was just wondering what other things besides anemones do clownfish like to host, particularly what would a false percula clownfish like to host? I dont have the lighting for an anemone yet, and I am afraid I will feel bad for clownfish without a place to go in when it wants to hide, sleep, etc. What do you think?
Thanks

well clowns ususally dont mind much about have a host....and if you dont have the lighting you probally cant keep the other things they host....my pait likes a rock covered in blue mushrooms and pumping xenia....i have heard of them hosting fuzzy mushrooms, bubble corals and frogspawn as well..but all of these need good lighting. you could try getting a fake....they may like it just as much. :happyfish

can you have a feather duster with reg flouresant light and if not would a coralife 50 50 bulb do the trick?

Yes, feather dusters ar e not dependant on light of any kind, so they will even do great in a cave...........reg flourescents or PC or candles it matters not.
