Ocellaris hosting a frogspawn?

[ChefCoralDan125]

Hey well i have two Ocellaris in my 12gal aquapod and well she has gained lots of intrest in hosting my purpletip frogspawn since I as of yet haven't put in an anemone. I was woundering if that would harm my frogspawn?

 

[CoolWaters]

i have a frogspawn and 2 clowns too and it seems that the smaller clown is hosting the frogspawn more. its been a while and nothing bad happen to my frogspawn yet so i think its ok.

 

[TheFool]

Clown will host anything. As long as the host isn't too small it's not a problem

 

[TRe]

the clown may disturb the frogspawn but he should get used to it...my old clown used to host in my zoos

 

[MrBungle]

since I as of yet haven't put in an anemone.

I hope you're not thinking of getting one *crazysmil

Second Mr.Bungle..no anemone, ever in that small of a tank......my male clown hosts in the frogspawn and the female hosts the trumpet coral......have been for 2 years and no ill effects. I was catching the small guy sucking on the tips though.....he quit and just hangs out there now.

mine found another host..cheap quality from cellphone

 

[ram man]

They might annoy the frogspawn at first, but the coral will get use to them.

 

[Lotus]

Wow, do you really have all those fish in a 12g tank?

 

[CoolWaters]

man i hate hermit crabs...cant w8 for all mine to die off

i gotta get more nassarius snails *twirlysmi

Lotus is right thats a bit too much for a 12g. just the 2 clowns is pushing it. but thats really common now.

 

[ChefCoralDan125]

well there is two list one for my 12gal and my 20gal i got my pic posted of my 12gal, wow kahlua what are your clowns hoting a rock?, coolwaters hermits are cool i replaced half of my hermits with nassarius and put the rest in my 20gal.

 

[ram man]

I hate hermits, hate them hate them hate them. All they do is nock over corals and kill snails. The 2 that are left in my tank know the punishment for touching even a single coral.

 

[ChefCoralDan125]

really what is the punishment you do. i know that i put four sails in my tank and by the 2nd day they were all killed and eaten up by my hermits and now they switch shells thats about the only thing i hatte about the hermits

 

[ram man]

The punishment is I crush half of their shell open so they can't hide, then let my mantis "play" with them.

 

[KahluaZzZ]

no they're not hosting a rock, but a flower pot i've put in the tank..the coralline is sticking on it..i want it all covered so it looks more "natural".
Aww come on guys hermits aren't so bad...they help more than they mess up

 

[ChefCoralDan125]

hey with out my hermits my tanks be all full of poop and algea all over the place they keep my tank nice and clean,heykshlus i get your idea thats nice.

 

[TRe]

your hermits dont eat "poop" and as far as algae with the right balance of snails it shouldnt be a problem

 

[ram man]

All my hermits did was snacked on GSP, and ripped the skirts off of zoas. They make a neat little crunch when you crush them.

about a month or so ago when i got home from an lfs with some goodies i noticed a tiny blue leg in one of the bags and threw it in any ways and now its like tripled in size.... anyways my point is that one crab isnt really hurting anyone so i decided to leave him to see how it goes...i guess there ok as long as its in moderation.. i used to have like 25 in my 55g and it got a bit out of hand
