anenome sting

[phishy2]

I have a hatian condy anemone which is hosting my tomato clown, the haitan has moved to an area that my midas blenny calls home, it has a hole in the LR that it likes to sleep in... I see the anenome touching the midas bleeny at times when the bleeny leaves its hole, should i be concernd about the anemone sting hurting the midas blenny? it doesnt seem to act wierd when it gets touched and i see no physical damage....

noone knows if the anemones touch is harmful to a non anemone fish?

I would like an answer to this question also. Sorry I can't help.

If the Anemone was hurting the Blenny, the blenny would not keep going back... That's not to say that the Anemone could not still, some day, sting/eat the Blenny...

I am sure your Blenny feels a sting and probably moves when it is touched right? Do you see any sting marks on your Blenny?

thats the thing, i dont see any marks or anything, and when it does touch it it doesnt really seem in too much of a hurry not to get touched... the haitan has again moved so its not too close to the blennies hole anymore.

on a side note,
I should have got a bta, when they say hatians move all the time it really is all the time.... its not that its getting too much or too little light or flow it seems to do a circle around the same areas of the tank moving every few days, it looks healthy and i feed it silversides or krill every three days...

for those with hatians if you have any tips to keep this guy happy and in one spot id like to know...
