Crazy little Fish?


Okay, so will Black Domino Damselfish host in a Bubble-tip Anemone?

I was looking over at my tank last night while watching tv with my GF, and noticed him spending a lot of time in one area... went and looked closer, and the silly Domino was rubbing fins and tail up against the BTA.
Is it likely that he is going to host there?

Or is he just teasing the BTA, or is he about to be eaten by the BTA? Is this some kind of aquatic suicide mission?

Eek.

It really is kinda cool, seeing this neat little black fish that usually blends in so well with rock and stuff, against the clean, white background of the anemone.

They are anemone fish. I had seen pics of them doing it but had never actually seen it in an aquarium until last week. Very cool!

clowns are of the damsel family. I have seen in the wild damsels hosting bta's right next to a bta with clowns in it. So the answer is yes.
