Something for a clown to host in.

[ponokareefer]

My clownfish would host my frogspawn & hammer coral. The problem was, the corals were hurt/damaged by this interaction. Some of my frogspawn heads ended up dieing and my hammer coral would barely come out. Now that they aren't hosting them, they are both doing much better.

Mine stay away from the anmone and 2 opt for the xenia and 1 in the torch

[i have crabs]

mine used to love my colt coral before they figured out what anemones were

nems are obvously out of the question as are any other aggressive corals, but how about a leather? they make great surrogate hosts if they are larger than the clown. the shrooms arent a bad option either. but be aware that just because you give it a certain coral to host, it doesnt mean the clown will take to it.

actually the leather sounds good. I understand its not necessarily going to take it but I just want to give it some options for its own sake not mine.

Thanks for the helpful suggestions.

What are they now hosting in?

Although the Cad is measured at 39G the display area is really only 27G. Now that my algae issue seems to have settled down it is time to start adding my first corals.

Ideally I would like to provide hosting opportunities that do not include corals with sweepers (such as torch or frogspawn) but maye that is too limiting.

The first corals I want to introduce are zoos, ricordia and GSP. What would you suggest I also add as hosting opportunities?

I checked the garf.org website for hosting alternatives mentioned previously but could not find that page.

Looking for something for my clowns to host in too. They sleep off in a corner of the tank, so maybe, if I put someting in there, they will host fairly quickly

hi,
My 2 cents wortj I have a 30G withc lown so I added an anenome and the clown hoted within a week, but the clow (I think) is too big for the anenome and the anenome 'scittered" away to a quiet hiding place away from clown.
