Icon14 Need a host for clown....

I just set up a 20 gallon tank. My bigger perc clown seems to be rubbing on my ricordea. I am trying to find something she will like. I am afraid to put an anemone in there because of my corals. Any other suggestions?

Mine lives in a open brain. Once I had one that lived in a feather duster. It was pretty funny when the duster closed. I read of one living in a powerhead. It seems their adaptable.

Here's a good reference for which species of anemone host which clownfish. Clownfish can be very rough on other non-anemone invertebrates and actually kill them trying to host. If you want to watch their hosting behavior, then get an anemone. Here's a chart from Marine Depot Live. The chart's excellent, but I'm afraid I've had bad experiences with Marine Depot Live's livestock and customer service.
