reefhippie Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I have one that's hosting a mag float. Link to comment
reefer21 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 ROFLOL. I don't see how a mag float could protect anything nor a powerhead.......how odd. hey, reefhippie did the clown attack the mag float when it moved? Link to comment
reefhippie Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I didn't have the heart to move it. I just got another one. Link to comment
demon2 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 mine hosted my magnetic algea scraper! Link to comment
ricky1414 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I just wanted to point out that it is the coral or anemone that hosts the clown, not the other way around. Was that a haiku? Link to comment
newbiecarlz Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 my clown was hosting in an anemone at the LFS, but now seems to spend his time swimming all along the glass at the front of my nanocube. he uses the top intake to sleep next to at night. ive only had him a week though, so hopefully he will host something eventually!

mccorkell Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Mine use to host a sebae anemone, which is not a natural host. I think my male false perc just likes to host anything. This morning he is hosting the back corner of the tank, he is hosting the silicone. Link to comment
bravoreefer Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 Well, it sounds like they have hosted everything except a heater. Anyone ever had one host a good ole heater in the tank. OR, how about a turkeybaster? That could defend you! Link to comment
Cesar Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 My clowns dont host anything inj my tank. I have anemone's and bubble coral. LOL Link to comment
xcajx Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 mine loving his hairy mushrooms. he wont let anything near them, except his best pal the clown goby. Link to comment
pyrrhus Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 i still think the most bizarre reported is the lionfish.im not kidding about it either, the little guy would rub in the pec fins and swim through the dorsal on occasion, weirdest thing i ever saw. Link to comment
bobioden Posted August 22, 2004 Share Posted August 22, 2004 mine also loved a nice hairy muchroom patch Link to comment
crappygecko Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 mine hosts the nano cube's intake at night also... if I did get something else is there a chance it'll switch or keep the intake flow for a host? Link to comment
dwolls Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Mine hosts a hairy mushroom patch also...actually those pics could have been mine! Maybe that is a good alternative? Link to comment
Cellenzweig Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 Mine is constantly wiggling around in my GSP during the day. At night, the GSP closes and the clown chills above the PH. Link to comment
kingtech Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 I thought my marron clown was a special needs case .. lol.. He sleeps behind the powerhead too ! the PH in an eclipse hood is about an inch from the glass so he gets behind it and stays until the next morning. Link to comment
kingtech Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Although I am starting to suspect that during the day he is on my toadstool leather. In the morning before the light comes on it is standing at attention .. when I get home it has usually collapsed. I set up a web cam so I could watch it during the day from work and looks like he is aggrevating it. Link to comment
JUMBO Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Does age of the fish have anything to do with their drive to host something? I just bought a true perc. 2 days ago, and it is fairly young and small. I was wondering if age matters? I have a hammer, candy cane, some zoos and 2 mushrooms in a 12 gallon. None are that big, but I hope he attempts to use one of them as a host till I get enough money for more options! Link to comment
dwolls Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 No mine is a itty bitty little guy and he hosts my hairy mushrooms like crazy! NOTHING is allowed near them! Link to comment
Primeval Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 should one buy a perc if they cant host a anemones Link to comment
bravoreefer Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 I have now witnessed my clown digging in the sand, as if making like a bed where he sleep in during the night. The first time he did it, it freaked me out b/c i saw this body laying on the sand... Luckly when the lights come one, he jumped up for another day of tank swimming. Link to comment
Cesar Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 My maroon just started to host a RBTA. Very cool Link to comment
