do torch corals host clowns?
have had a forch coral for a couple months-just got a skunk clown last week and it keeps getting very close to going in the torch like it wants to go in but then backs away-do torchs usually host?

It isn't unheard of for different Euphyllia sp. to host a variety of clowns. Your clown is probably slowly adapting to your torch's nematocysts.

Yes they are on occasion hosted by Torch corals. I would hope it doesnt. They can annoy and cause the torch to not open fully.

Yea, give it time the clown will probably host it. Mine have hosted a Elegance(not good and was removed), a flower pot coral, and a frogspawn(what they are currently hosting).
