    It's not likely that the feather duster is going to tolerate the clown aggravating it. I would keep a close eye on things, and remove either the duster or the clown at the first sign of a problem. Clowns can get very rough with whatever they are wanting to host in, they have been known to tear up and/or kill corals and such while attempting to host.

    I suspect you will be forced to either remove the clown or duster, or watch the duster die.

    I don't blame you. This is the perfect example of why some of us don't keep clownfish. I had some, I got very, very tired of them killing my corals trying to host.

    I love the clowns also :-) I get clown kisses when I put my hands in the tank to fix things that's fallen over so I'm hoping she moves onto something a bit more cozy also :-)

    Dominos, Not sure why, but they can be a lil feisty (sp) with other tank mates.
