Personally, I've seen more Euphyllias get damaged from hosting clowns than actually "enjoy" the attention.

I have a pair hosting an Aussie elegance, but its big enough to withstand the constant attention.

In my experience, my clowns have destroyed several of my lps. Torch, hammer and a frogspawn. Even though they also host my 10" rbta. They host anything and everything in my tank.

So be careful what you wish for.

Why would you want to do that? corals are not host to fish, it's detrimental to them.

Get your clownfish an anemone, either a bubbletip or a sebea and they will be much happier.

My first clownfish would only host my duncan wich nearly died and I had to sell those clownfish as they would not host anemones.

I then bought a couple of black ice tank raised clownfish and they host my sebae and a bit of time they spend in the duncan but they are gentle with it so it still thrive. They are more and more in the anemone and less in the duncan.

They tried a few time to go in my long tentacles plate coral (very bad) and I had to spook them off and they did not return to it. Hopefull they will stay away from it as they would kill it very quickly.
