|  Whoa!!! Zoas and Tank oddities!!!! Wrong Host!!
Unbelievable. The Zoas (or what I think are Zoas) are exploding. Check out this picture from a couple days ago... Zoas Just starting out
Now tonight... They look like this... Zoas Blooming?
Not only that but these on another section of rock! More Zoas!
Now for the oddity part. Has anyone seen a black and white spot hosting an anemone?
Check these out!
Wrong host one, and two...
So, I'm scolding my clowns. "See he can figure it out, what about you guys?! Go chase him out of there!" HAHA 
Hey, also I discovered a feather duster on that rock, but he's too small for a pick. And some other type grows that I can't ID, but is too small also! Woot! What an exciting night! I love it!

Yes, I've seen that before. two years ago I had two domino damsels, and one hosted in an anemone for a while. Once my clown saw that, he immediately hosted in an anemone, too. _________ -- SAW39 45 gal modified hex. Started and cycled August 2005.

Clowns are actually a type of damsel, and damsels do tend to host anemones sometimes. I've seen blue damsels host corals such as toadstool leathers and colts and spaghetti leathers (I think that's the coral I'm thinking of). _________ 125 Gal Reef.
