Perculas Harassing my Favorite Hammer Coral

[tarpons]

I am wondering if anyone else has experience with Perculas attempting to establish "residence" in a large hammer coral.

I have had my perculas for over a year, and they've never shown interest in my rose bulb tip anemone or my purple LTA. For the past few days they have been shimmying around my largest hammer coral. It has a 5 inch skeleton and expands to about 11 inches.

My hammer coral is obviously NOT happy with the attention and often fully retracts when the perculas are being particularly attentive to it. I am afraid it will begin receding if this continues. Should I remove the perculas or bear with it for a while?

Id bear with it for a while and see if things mellow in time. My two moron clowns host in my frog spawn. They arent nearly as aggresive as when they had an anenome.

I agree, i have a pair that live in my frogspawn

I have a pair that basically bothered a huge trach brain to death, went on to bother another brain which I moved, and now they host half between the huge toadstool, which doesn't seem to mind it, and some candy canes, which I can bear losing but seem to be holding on just fine so far.

Meanwhile, the bubble tip anemone is all alone. :roll:
