sometimes, Clown hosts the leather or hammer corals.

Keep an eye on it, I know elegance can be more sensitive. I had a clown pair host a small frag of Hammer coral once, and ended up irritating it to the point of death. Not saying that will happen to you, just be aware.

I think clowns will host almost anything that resembles an anemone or has "tentacles" as long as the sting isn't too strong.

I have 2 clowns that were hosting in my trumpet corals! Finally mounted the coral to where they can't get underneath (which was their preferred spot), but need to get something in the tank soon for them...

Moral of the story, yeah, they will host in anything...

Elegance corlas have one of the most potent stings of all the Euphyllia sp. Some people actually use elegances to kill out aiptasia!

Jeremy, I love your tidbits of information!! So many times I'll read one of your posts and say "huh, that's really cool, I didn't know that!" :up:
