I have a cinnimon clown and a featherduster in a tank together. The clown is the lone fish, along with some hermits and turbos. Anyhow, I've noticed the clownfish playing in the featherdusters crown and resting in it. The clown spends a lot of time near the duster and really seems to love it. The duster doesnt mind and remains open for it.

Anyone else experience this type of behavior before with clowns and dusters?

I have a 2nd tank with a pair of percula clowns and 2 big hawaiian dusters. But those clowns just ignore them.

I have heard of clowns hosting with all sorts of interesting things. Instinct tells them to host so they pick something suitable to them. I have heard of mushrooms, clay pots and even powerheads, so a feather duster sounds like it would be a good choice. As long as it doesn't bother the duster then it is pretty cool.

I have seen photos of them using dusters as hosts. Seems kind of ungainly, but whatever turns them on, I guess.

Its neat to watch. Too bad my pair in the main tank wont buddy up to the larger dusters too.
