clown hosting candycane?

My black clown fish is terrorizing my candycane coral. He swims around it in circles, creating a big divot in the sand around the coral, and he always is rubbing against it. Is he attempting to host it? My candy cane is not enjoying it lol

the big divot around the coral

Yeah its part of what they do. My clowns host my elegance and dig a huge divot around it.

My two clowns love my candy canes. They are very protective of them.

Clownfish do not host anemones. Anemones host clowns.
