Good morning peeps. My clowns are making my frogspawn corals very unhappy, any suggestions?

Not much you can do unfortuantly. Have they recently just started hosting it?
 
I’ve got two! 4 and 6, I’ve got a few years before I need to worry about weddings ha.
That’s what I thought, don’t blink Will!

Ya that’s what I thought, I tried little eviction notices around the frogspawn corals but they act like they can’t read. The duncan coral has been hosting them for a long time and a week ago they decided they wanted to be hosted by the frogspawn. I’ve never read any negative effects on R2R when this happens, weird.
 
Yeah, I told her she doesn't get a happy birthday to, just a birthday. So I sang to her:

"Birthday to you!
Birthday to you!
Birthday dear Ruth!
Birthday to you."

Everyone deserves a happy birthday! Hopefully there's cake.

Not much except find another coral they like better. My clowns picked my Caulastrea as their host for some reason. Needless to say, the Caulastrea was an unwilling host and all but met its demise. However, once the toadstool started getting bigger they happily moved to the Toadstool and still live there today.

Thanks, they seemed happy in the duncan for a long time, I don’t know why they would switch. The frogspawn is very healthy, all heads have a 1 1/2-2 inch flesh band. Hopefully it will adapt or the clowns lose their interest.
 
Decided to get a video and pictures of my office tank for you guys while I was waiting on my lunch to cool off enough to eat. I added the black background a few minutes ago.
