Mine does, and has done so for a few years now. Neither coral nor fish seem to mind at all.

Normal clown behavior.

As long as the leather can remain open some of the time, it won't be a problem. It can hurt certain corals, as I've seen hammers lose a head because of it, but they have skeletons to rub the polyps on.

Yep. It’s normal for clowns to “guest” wave makers, overflows, zoas, any other corals…literally everything but the anemone you want it to

Neither of mine host anything. One sleeps in the bottom left front corner of tank the other one sleeps in the top right back at night.

My old clown pair used to host an Acropora millepora… Try figure out that haha.

Clowns host anything, my current one is hosting a 7” bubbled up Ricordea yuma.
