Condy hosting a clown???

This is somthing I never thought I would see. I bought the clown and condy within a week of eachother about 7 months ago. Since then they have been in the same tank. Just last night i saw my clown cuddleing with the anenome. I never knew that condys could be a host. Now my clown (once a nomad) has a new home which he hasnt left since last night. Anybody else ever seen this before?

I've seen it in a LFS with a maroon or clarkii can't remember which one it was now.

The funny thing about it was the same fish didn't go for several types of hosting anemones

Anything can be a host if the clown wants it to.

You just got lucky in that it picked something we humans view as a "traditional" host.

I have a pair of black ocellaris hosting with a PVC elbow, and I had a perc host with a Maxijet 1200 as well.
