    Has anyone ever seen an ocellaris clownfish poke their heads in the mouth of an anemone? The mouth is closed but raised slightly.
    I just noticed the female clownfish doing this!! Why is she doing this?

    clowns do a lot of random things to nems when hosting, they sometimes bite or suck on the tentacles, rub all over it, they are warming up to it, nothing to worry about.
