Clownfish nipping at stylophora

[MicrobeMan]

Hi guys,

I’ve had a nice pink stylophora acclimating on my sandbed for a week now and today I moved it up onto my rock work. Since I moved it this morning, my clownfish has not stopped nipping at the base! The clown is well fed and quite fat so it’s interesting. I’m concerned because the stylo is NOT happy with almost zero polyp extension. I think the clownfish might be trying to host it but I hope not! Has anyone had a similar experience or any advise? It was fine on the sandbed so I might just have to move it?
Thanks!

They do that at times. One of my percula pairs was ripping off tentacles from a nearby Duncan colony and another percula pair balded a spot of their gigantea.
I figure it has to do at least in part with feeding. After I fed the pair nipping on the Duncan more they stopped.
