    Here's a list of the most common Clown/Anenome hosts.
    http://www.captivereefing.com/viewtopic.php?t=341

    With that said.... false perc's (true perc's as well) tend to pick something to live in and that's it, not always an anenome, just about any soft/leather coral can be selected. So don't be surprised if they chose a home you didn't intend.
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.

    There may be some truth to that, but I would have to assume that some corals 'get over it', we have a perc in one tank that has lived in a coral and both are happy and healthy, before discovering the colt he lived in a toadstool leather for over a year.

    In our daughters tank a false perc has taken up residence in a pulsing xenia, again both are quite content. It's funny to watch them bring thier hosts food.
