As you can see my Clownfish have taken up residence in my Torch Coral, Good thing or Bad thing??
I'm hearing different stories that they may not be around it long enough to move in the furniture and start a family as these corals tend to take a liking to there taste. Has anyone any experience of them eating Clowns or is it just a myth?

Perfectly fine. They can't eat a clown.

My clown likes Hammers and Frogspawn. No danger to the clown, but I've read where the fish can irritate the coral.

Or the corals can sometimes irritate the clown, typically they are smart enough if they keep getting stung not to keep trying to host that particular coral. Carpet anemones are about he only thing you need to worry about eating your non clown fish
