Do you have a clown that hosts in a coral?

I was told that the light in my new biocube is not enough for an anemone. My clown had one for several months (in my 75 gallon) till it took a turn for the worse. I've been told that sometimes they host in corals. Is this true? Does anyone have their clown host in any corals and if yes which ones?

I have had two clowns and they never hosted in anything at all!

I have a cinnamon clown now, and I had a black and white ocellaris... NOTHING, ZIP, ZILCH! lol

I guess I got lucky my clown hosted with my anemone (r.i.p.).

I have never had it, but have heard of clowns hosting other corals. I would guess frogspawns and bubble corals are some that clowns would host in.

I have this really good invertabrate book and those are the ones that it said anemonefish may host in. But, it said they get irritated by fish that try to host with them.

my clowns are hosting in my goniopora (flowerpot) which is probably not good for the flowerpot they just ignore the anemone

i have a maroon that hosted in a bubble tip until it died and then immediately went to my torch LPS for his new home. My torch is now 1/4 the size it used to be. they will host up but the corals dont like it.

When I bought my clowns, the LFS said that they probably would not host for quite a while because they were tank bred. Wonder how many tank bred clowns ever host?
