Corals and Clowns

[JOER0178]

To everyone who has clown fish. I wanted to know which clown fish do you have and which corals do they like to use as a host?



Also a side note, does anyone know any good "beginner corals" that are placed on the substrate

Garf has a nice article on that subject here's the link:

Appearently, they suggest a toadstool leather which was no surprise to me as I had seen them there before.

Thats a GREAT link David Thank you . You no with everyone talking about how hard anemones are to keep, and how people shouldn't buy them this would be a great link to add to the site

I remember seeing a Clown Fish : Anemone host chart somewhere here. Try a search.
Clown fish will host in other corals such as frogspawn and some leathers. But often the coral does not like the clowns and can suffer because of them.

As for a beginer coral. You may want to shart with Mushrooms, Colt Coral, or some Zooanthids

Also the web site David put a link up for addresses the fact that corals dont like the clowns usually and says that the toadstool is best in this manner.

I NOTICED IN THE PICTURES THAT THE CLOWNS USING THE TOADSTOOL AS A HOST WERE PERCULA CLOWNS. *MAYBE MAROONS DONT DO THE SAME NUGIO?????

Mine killed my hammer coral as it never recovered after they spawned onto it.
And they killed one stock on the frogspawn coral I have.
