Will clownfish host torch, frogspawn, or hammer coral?

Tuck asked:


I have 2 tomato clowns in my 24g nano cube 72W reef aquarium and i was wondering if since they are very similar to the anemones they host, would they host torch, frogspawn, or hammer coral?
SORRY i think they might actually be CINNAMON clownfish

    Honestly Clowns will host a numerous ammount of things. My clownfish hosts the thermometer. Putting a clownfish in a tank isnt going to 100% host anything including anemones. I have seen clowns host xena and other similar type of corals. Unless the clownfish with a coral or anemone that it is already hosting there is no guarantee that putting a anemone or coral in the tank will make the clown host it. Yes its possible but you cant really do much to make it happen.

    I have seen clowns host in all the things you have stated. I also have seen some that dont host at all. It just depends on the clown.
