Has anyone ever seen this happen?

I have a Piccasso clown that sucks the tentacles of her host rose rbta. What's going on? Is this another form of feeding?

Mine does that too... I have a true pair of percs. And i noticed it's the female that does it. It's like she's making out with my RBTA. Anybody have insight on this?

Yeah. I've seen my clown do this at least three times within the past 4 months or so. Really weird - my clown can suck about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch and moves from one tentacle to another.
