Hello all, I purchased a Clown a couple of weeks back and it seems to have bonded with my torch today. The last clown variant I had of the same variety seemed to want nothing to do with any of my corals and I thought this one was fine too, but I awoke this morning to find it all up in the torches business with no apparent desire to go anywhere else. I despise anemones, as they never stay put and I don’t want to buy one to rectify the situation, assuming the clown would want to go anywhere else to begin with. How long until it does serious damage to the torch? I might not be able to make it to my LFS until this Sunday. Can it wait that long or do I need to make an emergency trip to abandon the helpless clown at petco?

Have you noticed any adverse effects on the torch?
I had a pair be hosted by a torch colony that did not mind at all - it actually thrived with them (eventually they moved to a bta).
I wouldn’t stress about it unless the torch seems unhappy.
