I was wondering if they do because I have both but my clown doesn't seem to notice it and its been a while.

E.Quadricolor is not their natural host. However in captivity they might.
Mine used be hosted until I got an H.Magnifica (one of their natural hosts). Now they just 'play' in an out of all my E.Quadricolors, but their homebase is the Magnifica. However, my pair seem to prefer S.Gigantea (an other natural host) over S.Magnifica :)

Thanks for your input . I wasn't too sure. I got the nem for his color not for a host. But it would add the aesthetics of the tank

This has been my experience as well. In terms of preference from lowest to highest, it's BTAs, then mags, then gigs.

Yes, not a natural host but my percs took to mine in a day http://i675.photobucket.com/albums/vv111/ocellaris123/DSCN1308_zps936b64f2.jpg

I used to have onyx true percula pair. One hosted in an open brain coral and the other in a frogspawn...even though there was a GBTA with them.
