SRC Member Evolutionz Posted February 25, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted February 25, 2013 Hey guy, im getting a pair of clownfish soon and i hope that they will host on a coral.. but not on an anemone since my tank is stil new.. Im looking at corals like elegance tip, bubble coral and hammer corals.. which one is easy to keep in my 1ft cube tank and clownfish will more likely host on it? Thanks.

SRC Member clownfish_forever Posted February 25, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted February 25, 2013 Long tentacle plate coral. Elegance coral. Hammer, frogspawn coral. No guarantee though.

SRC Member clownfish_forever Posted February 25, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted February 25, 2013 Think their requirement are similar - moderate water flow and bright - to moderate lighting.

SRC Member illumnae Posted February 26, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted February 26, 2013 Elegance stings can get rather nasty, I think stick with Euphyllia sp. like frogspawn and hammers better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Evolutionz Posted February 26, 2013 Author SRC Member Share Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks for all ur advice! I too prefer hammer more.. Scared elegance too long may sting my zoas.. And what if I have a coral that got stung? It'll just melt away? Hammer do sting too right?

SRC Member Evolutionz Posted February 26, 2013 Author SRC Member Share Posted February 26, 2013 i just got my pair of false clown! so damn cute! another question.. meanwhile i don't intend to add any hammer corals yet.. probably 1 week later as i do not want to stock up too quickly.. so when i only add 1 hammer coral will both the clown host together or will they fight for it?

SRC Member clownfish_forever Posted February 26, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted February 26, 2013 Not all clown will accept the hammer as a host. If both of them accept it then they may be some fight but is good to let them develop into a pair. The female queen have to be identified.

lazydevil Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Actually when you get a few LPS, the clowns might move from one LPS to another. My clowns appear to be frickle-minded, Thats my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
