I had looked into what kind of anemone would provide the best host for my maroon clownfish for I picked it up this morning, so I knew there was a good chance on it happening. I never thought it would happen so soon though. I put the anemone in this morning and the clown fish started acting funny. It didn't get too close to the anemone, but it swam erratically a safe distance above it. Then when the day lights when out and only the nighttime LEDs were on did he finally approach the bubble tip anemone.
At first it looked like the clownfish was nibbling at the anemone's tentacles. Then it started brushing up along side of it. After about a half hour it looked like it was trying to bury itself in the anemone. The anemone was also reacting to the "dance". It was contracting as if it was trying to enclose the clownfish.
