Host for clown fish

[sam_always]

Hi all,

thinking of keeping a pair of clown fish. But i dont have strong light to keep sea anemone as a host for clown fish. What other coral can i keep as a host for clown fish?

[andysho]

somtimes clown fish will settle in any stinging coral

like hammer or torch coral~~~~

It depends which one will they like

[Achilles Tang]

Clownfishes are not fussy. Even a powerhead or LR will do.

But they seem to prefer something with wavy tentacles or polyps.

My new tiny false percula is currently being hosted by my torch coral.

But bear in mind, they may irritate the substitute host coral and they may not open.

I see my false clown has settle nicely on my bubble..!!

anyway, the clown is so small n my wife fav.. haha..!

I believe the clown will look for subsitute something they

give them the same feeling like an anemone, may it be

long shaft or round, regardless of shape.. but it must be

soft n good for a rubba..

1 feet tank~~` i dun really advise to keep them

because of the size of your tank....u will end up only

seeing one coral try to sting another coral which is nearby to it

all this coral require standard water paremeter

i dun think your 1 FL light can keep them

just want to keep 1 coral. only one will do. prefer soft type which can also be a host for a clown fish. please advise

[sinner]

both my clown are hosted by my torch... the torch is used to their disturbance and is opening widely already

[WLSS]

My black percula is hosted by my jewel! So cute to see the clown waggling among the tentacles. At night, the clown will "fight hard" to stay among the retracting tentacles when the jewel wants to "sleep" .

Is torch coral easy to keep? what is the requirement?

[junyong84]
