possum wrasse swimming in anemone

[smartwater101]

I've noticed my possum wrasse spending a lot of time near my BTA. Usually near the base so I don't worry too much but it has hid among the tentacles a few times. Not nearly as much as a clown would, and never for very long. It seems strange to me because there are plenty of places for it to hide and I've never heard of a wrasse behaving this way.

In fact, tonight it has chosen to sleep under my frogspawn and doesn't seem effected by its sting either.

Is this normal?

Not necessarily normal, but wrasses do have a decent slime coat. I'm not sure however if they are able to build an immunity as clowns do, so I might be a bit concerned. But I don't have any ideas on how to "stop" the behavior either.

Weird but cool?!? Got a photo of it?

I'll try to get a photo, though it is a pretty shy fish.

My tanaka's was eaten by a green BTA. My wife didn't like my wrasse, but it bummed me out. (The nem was "hers" go figure)
