Clown hosting Candy Cane?

Hello

 

I was watching my clown fish when he went up to a candy cane coral and stuck his nose into its mouth and gave his body a shake. The clown then swam away and the candy cane closed up. Do you think that the clown trying to host the candy cane or his he harming it? I have seen it happen in the past and thought that it was a one off. Today it happened twice within a 2 hour time span. The second time I manged to get some pics.

 

P.S I haven't fed the tank so there was no food on the Candy Cane for the clown to steel.

It'll try, and the coral will either become accustomed or now. Trumpets are pretty hardy so as long as it's fluffing back up afterwards, I wouldn't be too worried.

 

My clown dives into my hammer coral...

My clowns live in my frogspawn, no one can go near the frogspawn.

 

I've had clowns host a powerhead and leather before so I wouldn't be surprised at yours taking a liking to your coral
