Honestly this coral is my favourite so if it hosts them and they are all happy, best case scenario. I just don’t want the coral to get smothered to death lol. So far no damage thoughTbh it's not something I'd strive for. My clowns are hosted by a bunch of nems. The only outcome is that I never see them. Unless of course when my hands are in the tank and they turn into piranha. I need protective gear now.
I just don’t want the coral to die but thankfully it isn’t annoyed so farYou will never stop them. Only they get to choose. The only coral my clowns bothered was a goni. Never would fully extend.
+1 ^^^ There was a posting a few years ago where the clowns had become so protective of their territory, that one of the clowns jumped out and bit the guy "on his eyeball" as he was leaning over the tank doing maintenance. Yikes! Protective goggles? LOLTbh it's not something I'd strive for. My clowns are hosted by a bunch of nems. The only outcome is that I never see them.

It'll tell you when it's unhappy. Until then I'd just enjoy the view! To your question though, clownfish are low key kinda dumb for a saltwater fish. Anything a little wavy and they will often shout "it's an anemone" from the rooftops. Other times, they'll decide to host a scoly or a powerhead or an overflow box, and there is NO stopping them unless you take them out and sump them for a prolonged period of time and even that doesn't always work. They will be hosted by more and more things over time usually which is cool but the downside is what the others have said. More territory they defend. Once they're being hosted you really start to see how they're damselsI just don’t want the coral to die but thankfully it isn’t annoyed so far
Looks like I will be hoping it remains happy then haha. Thanks for the insight!It'll tell you when it's unhappy. Until then I'd just enjoy the view!

And just to be clear even though it's a crap shoot, your best bets are wavy corals like euphyllia and hairy mushrooms or nems like long tentacles, bubble tips etc but don't hold your breath lolLooks like I will be hoping it remains happy then haha. Thanks for the insight!
I have a torch and two hammers but looks like they prefer the trachy hahaAnd just to be clear even though it's a crap shoot, your best bets are wavy corals like euphyllia and hairy mushrooms or nems like long tentacles, bubble tips etc but don't hold your breath lol
