    So I think my skunk shrimp is hosting in my LTA...well...kind of. He never goes far from it and is not at all afraid to just take a stroll through its tentacles. I also see him "cleaning" the base of the anemone at least every other day. Is this normal? It's interesting either way. :p

    I don't know if the anemone likes it very much..
