What do your clownfish use as a host other than an anemone? - Page 2

alexk3954 · 08/17/2013, 11:35 AM

I have only had my pair of ocellaris for about 3 days but so far they just love the corner of the tank

. Heres to hoping they move into my euphyllia

Sun357 · 08/17/2013, 02:06 PM

The last pair I had wouldn't go hear anything with regular habit except the male always 'slept' on top of the powerhead at night. lol

reefaluva · 08/17/2013, 06:17 PM

MY pair of true percs go back and forth between my hammer and my bta.

Noell.Mochinal · 09/19/2013, 01:10 PM

I have a pair who just won't leave the magnetic glass cleaner alone. Constantly rubbing all over it and sleep on/next to it every night.

I thought they were *a bit slow*

Psirex · 09/19/2013, 01:16 PM

my red gonipora or my Duncan colony

you're not the only one.

i have two perculas who have so far hosted a corner, a powerhead, and currently my mag float.

i don't have any nems in the tank, but i do have plenty of xenia and various LPS corals including a few euphyllia that they seem completely uninterested in.

d2mini · 09/19/2013, 02:27 PM

My overflow.

IowaJeeping · 09/19/2013, 02:37 PM

My Duncan

reelfishy · 09/19/2013, 02:42 PM

My old clown that hosted a Duncan before I got him an Anemone.

mpfeiffer1 · 09/19/2013, 04:52 PM

Plate coral and gonipora - I just keep moving them around. It not, lights out for corals. Already had to remove a maroon as he was in everything and not so nice.

Sugar Magnolia · 09/19/2013, 05:42 PM

Star polyps, although she's been laying her eggs on the skeleton part of my hammer.

rgulrich · 09/20/2013, 05:45 AM

Mine enjoys a euphyllia divisa, fending off all that approach.

MiracleFish · 09/20/2013, 06:40 AM

My clowns love my goniopora, interesting enough. One clown wiill somedays hangout around my frogspawn and now and then "tap" the BTA I have.

dax123 · 09/20/2013, 10:25 AM

2 Clarkii host a BTA and a false perc in a toadstool mushroom. The Clarkiis are much larger and once in a while go over to the flase perc to harass it. At night the false perc moves over to the BTA when the other 2 are sleeping.

jimmysix · 09/20/2013, 11:26 AM

Minr love the top corner and sometimes the powerheads but they are
Scared of the magfloat lol

Don't tell me that. I'm picking up a boat load of lps and what not this weekend, hoping they'll find it nicer than those magnets

P.S. Your tank description is scarily accurate

LJLKRL · 09/25/2013, 11:39 AM

The bottom back corner where the vertical pvc overflow pipe is. Was hoping they would host the torch, but no luck yet.

ssteal · 09/25/2013, 04:07 PM

Big patch of hairy mushrooms

Noell.Mochinal · 10/28/2013, 08:45 AM

I'm SOOO happy! We picked up a *huge* aussie elegance two days ago and my clowns can't get enough of it. They are tank raised so I was afraid they wouldn't host anything. ever.

yeah I have 3 clowns because I cant catch the maroon from the original maroon pair I had in, but the ocelaris pair switch out with the maroon and host my nem, originally the maroon pair hosted the long tentacle plate O_o

sarcopython, photo is during night

Saltydrip · 10/29/2013, 08:12 AM

Right now I have some cyano that my pair are hosting. I'll try for a pic later.

SGT_York · 10/29/2013, 09:51 AM

I've got a hammer, frogspawn, flowerpot, RBTA, HairyShrooms, xenia, gsp and the stupid fish continue to host the overflow teeth.

Crna · 10/29/2013, 01:44 PM

I have a clown in each of my tanks, and they are both hosting powerheads in the corner. Neither has shown any interest in frogspawn, duncans, or hairy mushrooms... But I have hope! Great thread, glad to know it's not just us!

nick12881 · 10/29/2013, 02:11 PM

My two oscellaris are in my aussie gold torch constantly. Luckily, he doesn't seem to care one bit.
