Percula with Colt Coral?

Yes,

That is normal behavior in the absence of an anemone. I have read that they
can actually "pester a coral to death." But I cannot confirm that. Clowns
are really insecure I guess..... 8)

I keep 2 percula clowns in my tank with a few different types of
mushrooms and solt corals but they seem to have both taken up residence
in my colt coral and tend not too stray from it too far. I don't have
any other types of anemones (bt...etc) in the tank, but I was just
wondering if this is a normal thing or is it unusual for a clown to do
this? I realize that the colt is related to anemones...maybe this is
why?
Everything in the tank is fine and I was hoping that this pairing might
result in a spawn.

My Oscilleras Clown lives in my giant Hawaiian Feather Duster.

My pair reside in a colt coral. It doesn't seem to mind at all.

Mine took up with a patch of hairy algae.. I haven't had the heart to yank
it out with the rest of it so I keep fighting it everywhere else in the
tank.. One of these days I'll have to upgrade my lighting to get them an
anemone.. of course then the algae will probably go wild all over again with
new lighting....
