    It's not uncommon. Clownfish are in the same family as damsels. That's why some of them are so darn mean.

    Bangaii Cardinal Fish will do it too.

    clowns and damsels are in the same family. I dont know if its common for them to host anemones, i do know damsels will host corals in the wild, for protection from bigger fish. so doesnt suprise me that it can host a anemone too.

    btw i wouldnt expect him to share if a clown shows up

    this domino is a mean ass i dont expect to get anything else smaller then him. he tries to host a bubble coral as well. It would go up to the anemone shakin its tail n body on the stalk/leg. I goto feed the anemone's i target feed once a week n the damn thing comes n bites me.. Ive even flicked at it a few times HES GOT BALLS OF STEAL i tell ya. ty for the info...
