Thats actually two lobes on the brain and the indentation is how he worms himself in and out.I thought you said "lets see pictures of what your clowns host in"
Not what coral ate my clown.
Some very nice pics, you got to love clowns.:biggrinjester:
And I must add, you would hide too if you saw Vipers face through the glass
But you right gotto love them:biggrinjester:
Owner or fish ???
I have had some real belligerent b..... as well. There is a website called rare clowns, and they dedicate every page to clowns. A super cool fish

Lekker Matt, that frogspawn will grow around them 
Warr: well the one was constantly twitching when the other showed a bit of aggression, so I assumed they've paired. The one is definitely dominant and the other is submissive, so here's hoping!
Today the female was also twitching, these are funny fish
The smaller one is the one with the bacterial infection on his mouth, treated with myxazin, stopped treating on sunday and he's 90% better. Going to leave him and hope it gets sorted.

Common clown and Tridacna squamosa
This boykie's been BACK with me since early 2006.
BEFORE that my friend, Travis, raised him and siblings for me, from early 2005. I got them from a tankbreeding project @ 10mm!!!!
I had the squamosa, for about a year at the time....it took almost another year before the clown PHYSICALLY exhibited hosting behaviour.
Now, here's the STRANGE thing:
With the irritation of plunging, caressing, and settling onto squamosa clam mantle bothering ME as much as the clam...
Just, as I considered removing the clown..or CLAM.
Peace reigned..and the clam no longer retracted, as violently.
Heck! I'd say it ALLOWED initial contact, slightly twitched..and with 'recognition system'' satisfied, it remained relatively expanded, and passively allowed the clown it's usual meandering across, on, gliding between mantle folds!
I've subsequently rehomed the clam.
The clown, though, has recently become a vampire!
Drawing blood whenever he can, especially while I introduce new snails/coral/inverts, or remove them for export/transshipments .
My friend Dean, suffers(not in silence) whenever he's helping me out at AQuality's warehouse/depot/QT facility. He has WOUNDS, THAT bleed.

Stunning ObiWan , thats certainly unusaul
This could be sweeper tentacles. Is there another coral nearby ? Defence mechanism
Stunning Pics Guys........
Hi all - firstly - I am REALLY impressed by the photographs. AND equally impressed by the hosting of the clowns in the different corals, clams, etc.... ObiWan - that's just SOMETHING else that it hosted with a CLAM! WOW! You say it took a year - BUT, to be truthful - it's actually amazing that it hosted at all. As you say that the clown was tank-bred, right? Must in their genes then....
OK - everyone has probably seen mine - not strange at all - BUT I will show it off, because I am proud of it:
