Ok I tried to keep my mouth shut but I'm feeling cranky today so I'm going to speak up.

The only things fish can host are parasites.

The one that supplys the place is the host so the corals/anemones play host to the fish not the other way round...I know its petty but I did say I was cranky

I know there is a table out there somewhere on a website. But can't find it right now.

Clown fish (anemone fish) can live in Anemones. But not all Anemones

I'm afraid I really can't think of anything but clowns....alot of clowns will host anything

Baby Domino Damsels host between the spines of long spined urchins.

Most clownfish will host in almost anything eventually...powerheads, algae, corals, etc etc.

There's also a fish that hosts in the butt of a Sea Cucumber, though the name escapes me at the moment.

Domino Damsels have also hosted in certain anemones when young.
