Clowns are the guests. Its the corals that are the host.
Which ones typically accept clowns?
- toadstool
- Hairy mushroom
- certain Eupyhillia such as hammer , frogspawn and torch)
- Xenia
- GSP

Many more

My clowns love their torch (in a 20g), but they begun to take interest in my GSP, which is beside my/their torch. They like both, but I think they know the torch has a more powerful sting so it would protect them better. But I wouldn't think too much about it, clowns will host in almost anything. I've seen threads/posts in R2R about clowns hosting in zoas.

Chased those two when they were babies in a tank of 100 clowns. Only two that hung out by a tiny BTA. I took the trio. I cheated

I selected these 2 specific clowns because they were being hosted at the LFS. Keep kicking me while I'm down

Are you serious? That’s crazy. I would have been so bummed. I bagged all three together and put BTA in the tank then the clowns. They immediately went for it.
