Favia?? I just thought the clown may have been trying to host in the coral - but not if it is a Favia or something similar.

I will have a look at the pictures tonight.

I't's probably about to lay eggs if you have a pair..
My maroon female likes to clear er area when laying.. she'll move all the loose rocks and corals out of her way..
