clown fish hosting bubble coral?

[nikosbk11]

Hello everyone I just added a green bubble that is about 3" by 3" inches long. My clown is about 2 inches long and was hosting a leather and I recently sold the leather so my clown went to my hammer. Once I added my Bubble almost instantly the clown left the hammer and started swimming around and in the bubble. I know that they are fragile so is it ok that he is hosting the bubble. If not how do I stop it.

Bubbles have a serious sting, and on an off chance could wallop the clown, but, if it is accepted thus far, chances are ok imo....stopping it? Nah....rid of clown or bubble, no way to stop it.... I would let it ride and see. Could very well work. Most Clowns are brave, yours exceptionally so, embrace it!

Before all the clown police show up, the anemone hosts the clown instead of the clown hosting the anemone LOL

i have a clown that likes my elegance.... Now that is a fish eater, so we'll see. lol... Funny part is a bubble tip is two doors down..

My only concern is that bubble corals are fragile and clowns can be rough

Bubbles are tough, i would not worry about it.

If they can't handle flow, I don't see how a clown smacking and digging into them would work haha

Constant flow blasting it off the skeleton is not the same as a clown brushing against it. I think it will be fine. Short of selling the coral or the fish all they really have is hope anyways LOL.

You'll know best by watching them. My bubbles get a fair amount of flow. It keeps the sweepers short. They grow great still.

Just observe the coral is all u can do.

Move it if the clown bothers it too much.

Thank you for this info I can sleep now. Is there any chance that the bubbles can pop?

No not in my observations...they might retract a bit? Also may be others here who've had a bubble host before....
