Clown host break-up

[Sprattoo]

So.... I cured a couple of Ocellaris of an internal parasite issue (or I hope I have)

http://www.reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.p ... 548#488548

Now... it's been a week since I have had #1 and a new #2 has been added all going well.....

The little @#$%##'s decided to host an old Quahog shell around the back!!

Will they be stressed/distressed if I move, or remove the shell? I really wanted them to host SOMEthing slightly more exciting than an old clam shell!! But not at the cost of their lives or health.

I have a plate coral, a Condy, mushrooms, Sarcophytons, Xenias... all sorts of choices.[/url]

Personally I'd just let them be. They're gonna do what they want to do, not what you want them to do.

yeah... That's always the way.....

I'm sure they'll end up hosting the clamshell in the back instead of all the nice pretty options out front.

I left it... They have been looking around the tank for a while today..... They may be changing their mind.

I think if after a few mos. if their sticking with the shell I will try to slowly start moving it a few inches a day until I get it out front.
