long tentacle coral (suggestions please)

I want to get a coral with long tenticles that my clowns can host. My BTA didn't do so well and moves around too much so I don't want an Anemone. I was thinking a flower pot but everyone always say they only last 6 mo max. Any other suggestions? BTW I only have a 12g nano so nothing too big.

Mine LOVE Xenia. And it grows like mad. Clowns may also take to a torch, frogspawn, or hammer, I have heard.

My clown hosts a bubble coral. The coral seems fine and is thriving.

My pair of Ocellaris took to my frogspawn before they figured out the BTA was more comfy.

I've had them host in a pearl bubble and a frogspawn.

Well I ended up going with the bubble coral. I got this green bubble coral for only $33 at Fish Supply in HB. It's a med size. It's even bigger than the picture shows because I just put it in my tank. Plus the camera isn't doing it justice on how green it is.

Nice bubble coral. I also have a cinnamon clown. Bubble corals like to be in lower light, so your placement looks perfect. FWIW, I did move mine a couple times into lower flow areas and now all the polyps get insanely large.

Enjoy!
