Clown Sucking on Hairy Mushroom?

[arson420]

I happen to catch this weird behavior last night. He was hosting in this hairy mushroom that I have and he would periodically lay on his side and suck on one of the small tentacles of the hairy mushroom. He did this for hours. It was weird because when he would lay on his side, it looked like he was dead because he would not move at all. Then after about 20 seconds of him not moving he would swim around the hairy mushroom and then just do it again. Anybody else experience weird hosting behavior like this?

I have seen my clowns bite and suck on the tentacles of my anemone so I guess your is doing something similar. Why they do that, I dont know but from what I understand it is fairly common.

I think it's kinda fun to watch. Maybe he is just feeling needy and misses his mom's teet.
