Default Anyone ever have a clown host a clam before?

I caught one of my clowns lying on top of my big squamosa snoozing away the other day like he was on a hammock in July.





The clam doesn't seem to mind at all, which is weird since it will retract even if the cleaner shrimp tiptoes on the edge of its mantle momentarily.

This is the smaller male clown. The female still hangs out in the candycane which they've hosted since I redid the tank.

I had a pair that did the same thing. I thought it was quite odd but then again they were tank raised so I figured it was better than nothing.

I have two ocelaris that host in my squamosa. I have posted this on RC and it seemed it was quite common to them.
