Clown hosting in Brain Coral

[oimate84]

I added a wellsophylia in my tank a couple of days ago, and my tomato clown is trying to host in it...Is this common, as Ive never heard of this? Poor guy, I need to get him an anemone soon

Its not uncommon for clowns in aquaria to pursue alternate lifestyles like that, I can't remember hearing of one using a wellsophylia specifically though. In some cases it can be kind of rough on the coral, so you might keep an eye out for a lack of expansion or other signs of irritation in your brain. Your brain coral, I mean.

Clowns commonly host in open brains, bubbles and other LPS. Even leather corals are used sometimes. I have a pair of Ocellaris that love my red Goniopora sp. coral.
