Who is the HOST for your clownfish?

Happy Mother's Day.

My clowns just dropped eggs in their favorite spot...the mushroom rock. Daddy was picking at the mushrooms when I got home so I knew something was up.

Frankenstein (the Frogspawn) and Igor (the clown). There are four clowns in this tank, and none of them will “host” anything except for Igor. The other three just sleep against the overflow box every night, and have zero interest in anemone. :rolleyes: 3FE4EDF7-02E7-403F-8416-ED826D8EC9C5.jpeg
 
My percs are weird.

They guest in a BTA.

For months, they lived in the top left corner of the tank, then one day *~magic~* and they have been in the bubble-tip ever since.

So the conclusion of this thread is that a clown fish doing what is normal is actually abnormal.
 
They bounce around between all my bubble tips and my elegance coral. They stay clear of my H. Aurora anemone... he's just grumpy.

My pair host in a torch coral. At first it seemed to annoy the coral but now they all are getting along.
