The funniest thing, my clown suddenly found this little niche in my green maze brain coral, and he will rub on it and float in that spot for long periods. Is this similar to hosting anenomes? I included a pic to give a better idea. I never thought clowns would attempt to host any kind of stony coral.

My clowns took a liking to an open brain in my old aquapod. They then proceeded to beat the %$# out of it until it completey closed up. Not saying that will happen but keep an eye out for sand on top of the coral. Sure sign the clown is getting a little rough.
 
Stupid Clowns...I have two beating up my hammers as we speak...thank god its a big colony ....I would freak out if my maze brain was being hosted.... Fish would have to go...or I would have to find him a host ....last maze I bought was not cheap...bout as expensive as my icecap ballast.
 
Would this stress out the brain...I did notice some of the brown "stress ooze" coming from it yesterday. As of now the area looks good, but should I have concern?
 
Just keep an eye on it. If you start to seeing the flesh recede or its constantly retracted you might want to move it to a new spot in the tank.
