So i was watching my tank and i watched my percula swim over to a frilly mushroom and it looked as though he was taking a bite of it. however he did not let go with his teeth and just stayed there 'sucking' on the frilly end of it (thats what it looked like) until he let it go without taking any of it with him. very wierd. any ideas on why my clown was sucking my mushroom?

Mine has done this before also, its amusing! I dont think they are hurting anything though.

no it didnt look like it was hurting the mushroom but it really would be interesting to know why.

possible something to do with the way they get their protective slime coat for hosting anenomes in the wild, i dunno though, just a wild guess, clowns are so weird, guess they are appropriately named.
