Naked Clown Hosting?

[Josh]

Does anyone have ORA naked clowns?

Do they host in anything special? One of mine has been sitting in every patch of zoanthids I have. I was told they won't go for anemones but now I'm thinking about putting a little one in there to see.

I saw your clowns hanging out by the right side of the tank last night so try placing an anemone or moving one of your frogspawns near that area.

Nakeds are Ocellaris, correct? If so, then their natural hosts are: (from about.com)
Heteractis magnifica; Stichodactyla gigantea; S. mertensii. This fish also does fine without a host anemone.

My ocellaris used to host in my frogspawns. Then they 'found' the anemone (about a year after I put it in my tank.)

Anyone know how to get clowns to stop hosting a coral? My clowns are not exactly gentle with the large yuma they're hosting.
