My clown is sucking her anemone!

[JeffReef]

Has anyone ever seen this happen?

I have a Piccasso clown that sucks the tentacles of her host rose rbta. What's going on? Is this another form of feeding?

Mine does that too... I have a true pair of percs. And i noticed it's the female that does it. It's like she's making out with my RBTA. Anybody have insight on this?

Yeah. I've seen my clown do this at least three times within the past 4 months or so. Really weird - my clown can suck about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch and moves from one tentacle to another.

my pink skunks would do that to their host haddoni, ive had clarks do that to varies anemones as well.

Mine suck the polyps on the leather that they host in!

My female perc does that to my frogspawn that she has adopted as her home.
