She Found It!!

[AZRipp]

Late last year my wife and I were hit with a pretty bad velvet outbreak that claimed many of our fish. After a long "cleansing period", we added some fish back to include a couple of very young maroon clown fish (they hate each other ). Regardless, my wife has constantly kept saying, "I wish they would host the GSP". Well, this past weekend her wish came true. Not really sure if it's hosting, but the female (we're assuming) will not leave the thing now. I was even in the tank doing some cleaning yesterday and she would simply move to the opposite side of the patch from me, but never left. She's constantly frolicking in it and it will not close up. Pretty cool actually. I know others have had this happen, I just figured I would share.

Very nice! Always exciting to get clowns hosting something!

I wasn't too excited when mine was hosted by my wave-maker, but was pretty darn excited when he moved to the frogspawn after a year.

the GSP is hosting the clown - not the clown hosting the GSP (IMO). Not criticizing you - its just a pet peeve - ad ive yet to hear why people say a fish is hosting a sessile 'thing'.

You mean besides the norm like a PH, or the corner of the tank.

Yeah, no kidding. The smaller of the two we have stays right by one of our gyres. Actually sleeps between the propeller housing and magnet. Then again, any time he gets close to the larger clowen, "she" chases his butt away. Hoping that changes as they get older.
