So I have been contemplating getting a RBTA for my Mis Bar clowns to host in but I really don't want to deal with it moving around the tank. So I have ditched the idea and think I want some sort of softy or LPS for them to host in but again I'm not really sure what I want. So if any body can throw out some idea's and maybe pictures of their's it would be much appreciated. Thanks guys, and gals.

Just keep in mind that corals aren't really natural clown hosts. A vigorous clown can pester a coral to death. You have better chances if the coral, frogspawn or whatever, is rather large so the clown can spread the "love" around.

Interesting have you had a clown kill a coral before?

Ive seen clownfish kill frogspawns when there are very few heads. Hairy Mushrooms are a hardy and great choice as well. Toadstool's are also pretty neat. Just preference i assume.

my clowns before hosted my hammer coral which is around 10" big. so that the hammer will not be totally closed. i had a false percula. they also tried hosting some "fleshy" brain corals sometimes.
