I've been watching one of my green chromis going inside my LTA!
He goes in by mouth and sits in it just like a clown.
He brushes against tentacles and doesn't get stung.
Anyone hear of this b4?
I'm having trouble posting pic, but if you click my gallery you can see.
Pic isn't great ( I was rushing) but you can tell

I have seen them do it, I believe clownfish are a subfamily of damselfish.

I have a pink skunk clown that they seem curious in.
i've watched them get real close to my nems.
I sat down to eat dinner and looked and my jaw dropped.
He was sitting right on the mouth.
I was thinking, he'll be OK if tentacles don't touch him.
He glided across it touching several tentacles, no problem.
I keep trying to get a better pic, but everytime I get close
all my fish come to the glass for feeding time

My 9 Chromis used to all sit in the M doreensis, I have seen cardinals and even my tang site in there although is always getting stung and showing marks. Just wants to be close to the pink skunk I think .. identity issues lol :)

Not uncommon for Chromis or Cardinals and there are quite a few others who will adopt a anemone in the aquarium as well as the wild.

It's just weird to me.
I've had the same chromis for about 4 years, same as my nems.
All this time and just now they start going into both my LTA and sebae.
More chromis are starting to go in them.
I've never heard of this, and had no idea they could.
