    Clown fish in sperate corals

    My clown fish have been in my tank for several months along with my corals and have not been interested until last week when I found them in my torch coral together. Then two days later the female of the pair went to one of my other corals and now they are both spending all of their time in separate corals. I thought they were going to select a host coral for their home. I am confused and cant find anything on the internet about this!

    The first picture is the two of them, the second is the female in the separate coral

    WHat are you confused about? Do you have an Anemone big enough to host both of them? The Torch does not appear to be big enough. So they are looking for homes to reside in.

    Im confused as to why they are in separate corals, the picture of them in the green one is when it is partially closed. I just thought that if they were a pair they would stay together and now they are always apart in separate corals.

    So you are saying that they will move from coral to coral and it is still considered their host?? This is all new for me I have had the tank a year and my clowns are just now taking an interest in my corals
