    So, go figure, I wanted my Clown to host an Anemone, but all day he has been hovering over/around my Mushrooms!! Is this normal? Has anyone ever heard of them hosting Mushrooms before?! how weird!

    Clowns are exactly that.. Weird. They will host anything. Literally.

    Clowns can host an assortment of stuff in your tank. I have heard of GSP, mushrooms, euphyllias, heaters, and even clams. They are really interesting fish. I think the tank bred clowns are more prone to host weird stuff though.

    One of my clowns used to host my mushrooms as well. Heres a thread with some interesting choices. My clown used to lay on its side or just sit on the biggest mushroom in the colony while his woman (bigger clown) would host the frogspawn right next to the shrooms.

    as stupid as it sounds, i have a pair of black and whites. They are still just little guys right now, I got them when they were roughly 1/2 inch long, and have now grown to over an inch ide say, but they hosted my mag float..... I couldnt get them to leave it alone, so had to move it to the other side of my tank. Now they havnt found anything else to host yet, im hoping they grab my anemone, but who knows!
