Clowns choosing host

[Shaady]

Researching starting a new tank and while I realize there is no guarantee what clowns will choose to host, if I did want to give the best chance of them selecting a particular host, coral for example, would it be better easier to

a. Hold off on clowns, Coral in first, because it will be harder for clowns to switch their host once they have established one

or

b. Don't matter, they are random

Basically I am planning stocking order and was planning on clowns being first fish or deciding if i should select another first fish and wait till i get coral in before adding clowns

Hi, welcome to the reef...

B , but...
kinda depends on what type of clowns you plan on getting .
would definitely not want to add nem too soon.

Thank you.

Yeah with just starting, I don't think I want to even consider a nem for a long while. I want to figure out how to keep a "low maintenance peaceful" reef first before I have to learn to deal with a nem walking around stinging stuff and splitting.
