Question Whose had a clown host a Euphyellia sp. coral?

I'm just curious as to how often this happens. And, if there were any negative effects on the coral. I've got a nano and don't really want an anemone in there, but I do have a frogspawn and hammer that hopefully a clown will host. TIA.

My occellaris clowns love their frogspawn. I haven't noticed any problems with the frogspawn.

Most likely an Ocellaris.

Our Ocellaris clowns host a torch with no problems at all.

I had a pair of perculas hosted a frogspawn and a hammer (they went to both) for about a year until I sold most of my corals. The corals weren't bothered at all.

My Ocellaris hang out in my Frogspawn from time to time...they don't seem to do much damage (except for when they knock it off its rock...but that's my fault for not gluing it down.)

My pair of perculas have lived in a frogspawn for the past 2 years with no ill effects to the coral itself. The male has also been sleeping at night in a mycedium that is growing near the frogspawn. Both seem to be growing well.

Few months now. The Torch is actually growing quite quickly despite having 2 fish trying to live in it.
