What Coral for a clown?

[dingo2031]

I am planing on getting a Galexea coral in a 8 gallon tank with a clownfish and a firefish/pistol shrimp. Will The clown host it???? :lock1:

Clowns will make a host out of just about anything if a proper nem isn't available.

I've had clowns which seemed to take issue with the concept of hosting... I believe they are fearful of codependency and believe their fellow tank mates might see them as "needy". Then there are my clown ****** who'll climb into any nem which is convenient. It just depends upon the specimen. I wouldn't hold your breath though.

LOL Liquid what type of clowns i have ocellis

 

[Liquid360]

I've got a perc, a maroon, two ocellaris, and a black ocellaris... my clown troupe

I'm about to add one final clown, a "show" sized black ocellaris around 3in+... That'll complete my collection of clowns.

[Liquid360]

mine absolutley loves our toadstool (sacrophyton) and won't leave it alone but he kinda seems to upset the coral a bit. it's a tiny toadstool so that's probably why.

I've always loved clowns and S.Haddoni.

my clown decided to host my overflow box, looks so natural.

You'll hear different rules for Haddoni. IMO they aren't difficult. They have a personality and clowns love them??

I like toadstones but I Love Galexea and the fgimt told me it was a easy coral for a beginner.
