    I've heard/seen clowns hosting different corals - torch/hammer/frogspawn - but my other clown started hosting my zoa frag this morning. The weird part is that I've had these clowns for about 2 months now and I've had this frag for about 2 weeks now. This didn't start until I picked up a LTA and the Female clown started hosting that, but won't quite yet let in the male. It's kind of funny because its almost as if the male is now lonely and tried to host these zoas. Here is a quick shot - just thought it was funny.

    I wish I had pictures of my false perculas. The tank had an RBTA in it but they first hosted a rock. If I moved it or turned it, they followed it. Wouldn't touch the RBTA. I removed the rock completely hoping they would go the RBTA but they started hosting a powerhead instead. I never did get them to host anything that wasn't dead already.

    Zoa hosting is pretty cool though.

    Thats funny - they were hosting my mag float, then the base of a Koralia 3, now one in a LTA and the other in my Zoa frag - if they go after my GSP or Xenia I'll definately get a pic....

    That's exactly what he hosts in the corner of the tank. LMAO. He tried to get right on top of the mag float and didn't care that his dorsal fin was out of the water, he was just as happy as could be. Now I've moved it from the very top so maybe he'll move with it.
