coral hosting

[Gwiley]

My new Singapore true perc has just recently showed interest in becomming a guest of my large frogspawn coral. However, He will not actually swim in the polps. Instead he skims the suface of the polyps. I can tell he really wants to swim in them because he will swim under the bottom heads and dart through them really fast. He is really small so he could just be cautious of not becomming coral food.
What else could be going on with this behavior? This is my first time observing and kind of hosting and I'm really excited.

It may be stinging. My Maroon took a long time to build up a tolerance to a colt coral.

I thought this also. I have noticed that the coral appears to grab hold of him. What can I do to help him build up a tolerence or help him with his protective sugar mucus coat?
