Female Maroon Clownfish Living Dangerously!!

[MontanaRocknReefer]

Hi Everyone!!
I have a pair of maroon clownfish and the large female(21/2")loves to mess around with "Burt" the snowflake eel.
When it is feeding time around 4:30 P.M. and I approach the tank, the maroon as soon as she sees the snowflake eel out will go right over to the eel and place its body right on top of the eel's head and force the eel's head down and then likes to fan sand into the eel's hole underneath a large LR that it lives under.
I find this to be an odd behavior and I doubt this would happen in the wild. I find this to be fascinating to see these inter-actions between tank inhabitants that will not be a normal behavior in the wild.
The snowflake eel is about 7-8" long and my maroon may get a surprise of her life in the near future if the eel decides to get more aggressive. I keep the eel well fed with raw shrimp, scallop, and clam.
I find this amazing how our reef inhabitants will adapt and change their behavior patterns to survive in a closed environment. I was curious as to other hobbyist whom have noticed strange or not normal behavior of their inhabitants. Johnny

I have seen my purple tang and maroon clown team up and tag team a damsel to death before, and I am sure this is not normal wild behavior! I got the two at the same time and around the same age and they are inseperable.

My Maroon clown and the yellow tang (who now lives with someone else) were always together as well. However, I don't know if they were so much "buddies" as keeping an eye out for the main competition! At any rate, the Maroon clown was never aggressive to other fish while the tang was in the tank. She now "rules the tank" and harassed to death the only fish I've tried to add to the new tank, a Randall's Goby

Johnny, your Maroon sounds like she likes to live dangerously!
