dreams, if your clowns find a more attractive host, they will move. i've had exactly the same problem with my flowerpots. if the clowns continue to use it as a host, the flowerpot will cease to open. get a
bta soon. also, the legend of the difficulty of keeping flowerpots is in my own opinion overstated. a lot of the bad reputation came when reefers did not feed their tank anything close to the amount today. everyone was terrified of poor water quality. i read an article about 10 years ago when one hobbyist kept nothing but flowerpots. i gave me an inspiration.... my oldest gonipora is now about 8 years old. the thing is they just need to be fed really well, and have enough pulsating water movement to keep them clean. if i remember correctly, the heavy mucus needs to washed away from the coral before it leads to bacteria infection which will lead to poylp loss. but course, i'm just a hobbyist.
