Perfectly normal. Almost all clowns have been known to host in corals in aquaria. Sometimes, it turns out to be bad for the coral but since zoanthids are pretty tough, you have nothing to worry abobut. |

I had to trade in my anemone because it got to big and was stinging to many corals. My clown took to my finger leather. Lucky for me he only swims around and under it. He's a nice fish that I can hand feed, but got very possessive when the anemone was in the tank and attack my hand and other fish that went next to it.

Yep normal.... I had clowns host in xenia's, torch coral, my finger leather and my favorite, a nice big patch of green hair algae. Like amcarrig said its a good thing that zo's are tough cause it could irritate the heck out of some corals. My torch didnt like it to much.

The pair of clowns in the tank have moved around and hosted many things they dont seem to picky. But they have moved to there orginal host a leather tree coral it was all closed up at first but its getting used to them and opening up again with them in it. They snuggle with it, lay down on there sides in it very cute to watch. | |

My two, young false percs are currently hosting my big yellow veggie clip. They even sleep in the "v" top. Funny little fish.  | |
