Great movie!
I was reading someone's site when I was starting my reef, and they also had a saddleback clown that did the same thing with their blue carpet... they had aptly named it Marquis de Sade...

that is awesome!!!! i was laughing so hard. was this a one time thing. or does he hang out in there often?

it made it even finnier that the saddleback was just sitting there staring into the lense

The fish occasionally dives right into the gut of the anemone and disappears entirely. Of course, she would not cooperate while I had the camera out!

Thanks for sharing that video Gary! Pretty cool!

I have heard that carpets eat fish? Pretty brave fish you got there!

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

Yes, Carpet Anemones eat fish- and apparently sometimes the symbiont fish. There is a local friend of mine that lost a Clarkii Clown to it's host Merten's Carpet anemone.

The clip is cool, but I have a question. Why did you call it deep throat? ...kinda misleading.

My producer thought that 'Deep Throat' was a better choice than 'Deep Oral Cavity'.
