vanessa Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 what is a good coral that my false percs will host in? I've heard bubble corals and maybe some xenia? Link to comment
DeskJockey Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 xenia, frogspawn, hammer, large furry shrooms like rhodactis, leathers, and occasionally a foreign object like my over flow box. Link to comment
MKramer Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Or as in my case, none of the above. Just don't get too frustrated if they choose to not host at all. The aquarium should not be hostile territory to them, so they don't feel as comelled to find a protective host. You have a slightly better chance with wild-caught clowns than tank-raised ones, but even then I've seen ones that took a host, and decided to go hostless a few months later. The only hosts that have a high chance of success are their natural hosting anemone.... but that usually isn't practical. Link to comment
Crakeur Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 my clown has taken the water's surface as it's host. it swims around like it's dying, sideways, rubbing against the surface of the water. It will even rub against my hand when I clean the tank, or tinker with the scaping. Sadly, this bizzarro behavior has been going on for close to 4 months now. Link to comment
"333" Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Crakeur my clown did the same thing stayed at the top and only swam around when feed. Then I got another fish and now she all over the place. Link to comment
