Nemo is trying to host in my clam ??? is this hurting my clam ???

[Gseclipse02]

during the day he will swim around and sometimes "hide" /"host" or what ever you want to call it on the clam ... the clam doesnt close up so i dont think she minds but when the lights go out the clam is closed up and Nemo will lay inside in the clam kind of .... is this bad and is it going to affect my clam ???

Seems to me like you will end up with either a dead clam or a dead Clownfish.

geez what i didnt want to hear lol ...


looks like he will be coming out ....


he doesnt dive into him but he does lay on him when the lights are out ...

Place an anemone in there so it can host that and leave the clam alone.

i do have a LTA but i just put a new pair of clowns in since my old ones were nipping at my clam every once in a while ...

the biggeer one of the two clowns is in the LTA but the smaller one likes to swim in the clam ...

crazy clowns will host in whatever they want, not always what you want. Fish will be fine. Clam will not make it if you cant keep the fish from harassing it.

eeehhh lol


im going to see what happends today last night was the first night the bigger clown was hosting the LTA so im going to see if the smaller one will. If he keeps harassing it then he is out like the other 2 I had

[seaurchin]

It never ceases to amaze the things I hear that clowns will host in.

[envy]

My pair host in xenia and in some frilly shrooms depending on them. The funny thing is that ever since they decided to host in the shrooms they have started to multiply. Has anyone ever seen a damsel(domino) host in an anemone. I saw one at fintique last week and this week hosting in it.

mine did if my clarkie wasn't around to protect its home lol

[Joe31]

After thinking it over, I decided to help you out. I'll take the clam so that you can have your clownfish (nemo)

[blindside]

Ha ha ha, nice. My clowns host the sand bed and power heads, and frogspawn, and everything in my tank!

[kenny01]

My clown has been bedding down on everything in my tank, including the magnet. I bought him an rose tip today.

[justahobby]

Get another anemone. I've seen your tank and you got room!:wink_smile: Best of luck to you, but if you need I would probably buy one.


My domino would hide in the LTA , but I wouldn't say he hosted...

[mikedelgado]

Mine have been hosting in my squamosa for over a year. the clam seems like its doing fine. Sometimes I wish the clam would eat the clowns. Like right after they throw my new coral frags into the hammer coral of death.

oh yes i know that feeling and i HATE it lol hahaha ....

hmm well so far the female has been letting the male swim in the LTA so will see whats up tonight ...

[CoryDude]

As long as the clam isn't irritated and able to extend it's mantle for most of the day, it should be ok. But, as said before, try to get a long tip or some other anemone to divert it away from that clam.

[Grindhouse Tattoos]

i had a klarki host in my clam for months befor i got rid of him.both were fine

[Grindhouse Tattoos]

tomato clowns can be aggressive.

[Joshua]

I'm pretty sure I lost a huge copperband a long time ago due to being clam crunched, but I think your clam will be OK if that's what you're worried about unless that clownfish is really persistent.

And maroons too!

I've always loved this picture. FishCraze in Houston had this happen to a Juvi Emperor Angel when it tried to make a meal of one of his Crocea Clams. Guess who Won that battle.

you earned your 50 post in one day now quit bringing up threads that are 2 months old lol

[brewercm]

I think it was Jim Norris that had a pair of black percs that used to host in his huge clam along the side of the mantle for a very long time. Never had any problems with it that he ever mentioned at the time.
