damsel nesting in anemone

[zeblisik]

My domino damsel is nesting in my anemone, which I believe is a condy. (not too sure, I bought it in an asian fish store, no one really knew the English names)

I know clowns are damselsââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦ but have many people seen this happen? Is it common? An anemone crab is already living in itââ"šÂ¬Ã‚¦ is this going to be a problem?

Domino damsels, in a sense, can also be called anemonefish. The main difference is that they are a transient symbiont, only associating with anemones while they are young. It is a bit less common for them to host in the Condylactis species as opposed to Stichodactyla sp.

You might want to banish the anemone crab because it will hassle the clown from what I've read. I've never had one personally though.

the domino will stop hosting in its own time. As it gets older it will have no need for the anemone. IMHO they are the most aggressive damsel out there, they get freakin huge too.

I have had adult dominoes host in BTA's as seen on my web site.
He slept in it each night for years .
Very cool.
