Do you quarantine mean fish that pester coral?

Long story short, one of my favorite corals, my Duncan, was all of a sudden getting poked at by my clown fish.

I’m not sure if he was trying to host in it or what, but for like three or four days, the Duncan looked absolutely miserable. Shriveled up and just super gangly.

I took the clown out and put it in my quarantine tank which was unoccupied at the time. Thankfully the Duncan looks great now and is even sprouting a new head. Do you think the clown will ever relax or should I plan on keeping it out indefinitely?

He was probably going to use the Duncan as a host. I’d put him back in and let him go. The Duncan should be fine once it get use to the clown and vise versa.
