Past or present, let's see some unusual hosts that accept their clowning around.

I'll start, my tan (with shades of pink) and green duncan coral and platinum clowns.

Here's my male clown in my branching torch coral. He loves to swim in everything. He is hosted by by RBTA and my GBTA, but at night the female kicks him out, and he sleeps in this branching torch.

Haha that's awesome! I think it's cool how they can build up an immunity to multiple hosts like that. Mine tried to host my torch coral but it seemed like they were continuously getting stung so they moved on. I could be wrong, but their white turned grey in some spots and the female couldn't shut her mouth multiple times (after sucking on the tip of the torch, this sounds terrible as I type it.) when they tried to host it. I just attributed it to being stung since the symptoms went away after leaving the torch.

Here's the torch they left, which I would have preferred them to host, but I can't complain.

They sleep in this frogspawn and hardly find them farther than 6" from it.

Here's the same clown in one of his new homes. I purchased a new aussie gold torch and he loves it. He's been splitting his time between this torch, my branching torch, and my GBTA.
