o clown mouthing hammer coral

[steve r]

my clown has taken to hosting my hammer coral. the hammer doesnt seem to really mind ( yet ) it has been about 3 weeks and the coral is not receeding and seems unaffected. heres my question. the clown will take an arm or just the hammer part on the end of the coral and gently hold it in his mouth. is this a normal hosting behavior?

The behavior is normal. The coral might not appreciate it though. lol

My two clowns use my hammer coral and torch coral as hosts.
