I have 2 standard ocellaris and 2 Rainbow BTA. I know, RBTA aren't a natural host, but it happens. Now after 2 days of having my new green torch, it is hosting my torch ‍♂️ This got me thinking, do they have a color preference? Would they more readily take to a green BTA or even an acid wash BTA?

clowns are pretty weird IMO
i gave mine a huge duncan colony to host but they pay no attention to it and instead opted to host a shell??? & the third clown hosts the return line & magnet cleaner
