    Well my clownfish have given up on anemone's so they have hosted a cliff in my tank making it there cosy nest. I was always looking for a clown to host an anemone but now that I have the two OCC clowns I dont think its possibly to get the symbiotic relationship going. Anyone think I could put any different type of clown in the tank its a 120gallon

    I always wanted a clown that would host anemone in my tank.. but my 2 dont, and the best advice is finding one already hosting with anemone at a LFS. buy them both at the same time.. best shot.

    I wish I could get my clowns to stop hosting my toadstool. Maybe you could try one o those. I've even seen clowns host a feather duster.

    My clowns host in my large goniopora colony, much to the irritation of the goniopora mind you.

    On a side note: My web browsers spell check function doesn't recognize the word 'goniopora'. It does however suggest i use a very inappropriate word instead :S
