I had the pleasure of witnessing this amazing sight at Acropora House. I just HAD to video it as I had never ever seen anything like this before.

Enjoy !!!!

Very nice video That is one way to escape a potential predator!

And that's the reason why you don't put saddlebacks with a carpet. Several more dives from the clowns=dead anemone.

Marina beat me to it. That's is exactly why saddlebacks are prone to killing their anenome's.

wow, i wonder why the saddlebacks dive that way compared to other clowns.

That anemone is not long for this world with the clowns doing that. Unfortunately, the clowns are harming it.

Please educate me. Why are they hurting it? My saddlebacks have done that from time to time over the past 2 years or so Ive had them. My haddoni is fine. Just wondering.

 

[Lahn Doe]

The stickied faq says the Haddoni is a natural host. What kind is in that video? I am thinking about getting one for my saddlebacks.

That sucks it harms the anemone but that is the coolest thing I have seen reefing wise

They stress it from going in and out all the time. Not all carpets die with Saddlebacks but too many do.

That was very cool. I hope the anemone will be ok.
