Hello all,
I'm looking ahead to when I get my clowns. I really don't want to do a anemone in this tank. What corals have you had that clowns "host" in without destroying the coral?

Thanks!
 
I would suggest trying one of the longer polyp leather corals... probably a better choice than any of the LPS corals
 
My current situation lol!

Mine hosts in zoas one week then 2 candy cane colonys the next, then he will move to a galaxia for a while and if the Duncan's allow it he will sleep in them. When tired of all those he will sleep in the hammer for a few nights then it's back to the candy canes. Meanwhile my anemone is growing really well understurbed and untouched. My tank is one giant mattress store to him.

None of his actions have resulted in any damage to any corals. He will also suckle on polyp tips as well as motorboating the bigger zoas, they close up for a few seconds but always open back up.
