Ive had my juvenile clown for almost a month now, and when I got him he was being hosted by a rbta, in my tank he been hosted by anything. I just got a rbta thinking he might like it, but the bta is still kind of tucked into the rocks. you can see it in the back of the video. It seems as if the clown is asking the frogspawn to host him and getting stung.. I have read several cases where clowns have had issues when they host in a frogspawn/hammer etc, so Im wondering if I should attempt to intervene here? If so how? Move the frogspawn, cover it with a basket? Or do I just let the clown figure it out the hard way?
 
My clowns have hosted my torch coral without any issues. They kind of bounce around into whatever they want. Right now they seem to be hosting my space invader pectina.
