Yellow tip torch coral, maroons new home

[Jeffrey750]

Hi all, I have a small 1 inch Maroon clown which took over the yellow tip torch coral. He lives in this thing almost all day other than to eat. I almost want to say it looked like he was burned once, but the little white blast mark went away in a day. Should I get him his own anemone or leave him be? He is in a very well already stocked reef tank, not a whole lot of room for too much else. I'm kinda affraid to add one being that they move around, I have a hard enough time with those big snails knocking stuff over.

As long as he isn't causing the polyps to retract all the time it's fine. You're lucky...the closest thing to hosting we can get my g/fs clown to do is a clamshell (dead mind you).

The white sting was actually a sting He'll get used to it (or already has) and it will be a non-issue. I'd keep it and skip the nem.

How big is the torch? If you don't know already those can have quite a range for the sweeper tentacles :/

I have'nt seen any sweeper tenticles yet. The size of the coral at the base is about 6 inches around. It has 8 heads on it and overall bigger that a softball. It is always out, it's my favorite.

It's fine they all hang in somthing better the coral then a anemone to have to deal with. I have had them to live in everything from a mushroom to frogspawns to elegances to leathers and button Now we have a pair in a clam..
