I know that Clownfish in aquariums are known to host with random things, but has anyone confirmed seeing one try to host or even successfully host on a Duncan Coral?

I am asking, because my Midnight has been hanging around my Duncan lately and rubbing up against it. This has only been over the past week, maybe week and a half. Prior to that she was not hosting anything and would normally be seen hanging out on the other rockwork in my tank.

Here are a few pics of The Darkness rubbing against the Duncan.

Yes, they will hang out in plate corals, duncans, and other LPS hosts if they want too. Sometimes they will ignore an anemone and hang with a Duncan if they like it better. You need to keep an eye on the duncan as sometimes the clownfish are really rough on their host, even to the point of detriment to that animal.
I had a clown live in a plate coral and the coral was always healthier when that clown was living by it.
