    It inflates and opens but it use to extend out about 6". It's in a lot more flow now as well so that's part of it. But ya I'm aware of them killing coral. Why hoping to get a nem soon lol

    My clowns are very finicky. They will host with my Long Tentacle Anemone and then went to my Frogspawn and then to my Toadstool Leather and now onto my Red Bubble Anemone,

    The weird thing is that they will swim from one to the other and tussle around in each of them. It's not like they moved from the LTA to the frogspawn and didn't go back to the LTA.

    They are kind of hosting all of them.

    My clowns hosted by my purple hammer coral with no harmful effects.

    The Lps sting is less than half that of a nem. Imo

    Great advice from everyone. We have an anenome in the tank but its pretty pathetic looking... We bought it as a "sacrificial" anenome to try and lure out a hitchhiker crab. Long story short, my husband "let him be" in the tank rather than sticking him in a glass to lure the crab into and he made home in a rock. He's all battered up because we beat the crud out of him trying to get him to move. :-[ I don't think the loans will like him much. Either way, I'm going to try moving the frogspawn and see if they forget about it. They're not that smart, right? ;D

    Clowns don't host(except parasites,game shows, and parties.)They are hosted.
    Me banging my head against a hard object.;D
    Clowns will usually kill most coral hosts eventually.:cry:

    does this mean my skimmer intake is hosting my clown::)? LOL she always sleeps at the top of the tank, right near the intake. First time I saw it I thought she was dead

    No actually the clown is using your intake as a surrogate host.:p
