I've noticed for the last two weeks ever since my clownfish has hosted the frogspawn that he breathes more quickly, is this normal? He rubs the shit out of it, the frogspawn hasn't shown any unhappiness so I just leave it alone for now lol

Probably acclimating himself to its stinging cells. Your clown may also get some discolorations if it is orange, I have heard of clowns getting what look like black burns/spots from hosting euphyllia.

Yea he has a tiny bit of scarring but nothing too bad I'm waiting on my LFS to get my RBTA in

my WC true percula tried hosting my frogspawn, got burnt on the last stripe near its tail a few weeks ago... ever since then, they haven't even bothered hosting it at all... waiting for a chance to grab a nice bta

Mine seems to not care I can clearly see him getting stung but every night he goes back to his pot in between the branches and now my frogspawn is pissed lol waiting on a BTA also I'm about to go search for one Id hate to get rid of my frogspawn but I also don't want it to die

My duncan has been hosting my clown for about two years now and after the initial stinging phase both he and the duncan are unphased by the activity. Sometimes my occy will get a little to aggressive with the duncan and it retracts a little but then it goes back to normal in a minute or two.
