Tomato hovering just over anemone

It's hard to watch every single time I look in my tank but my tomato clown is always hovering just over my anemone. Seriously, like 1mm above the tentacles. Hasn't when in it yet but will never leave the vicinity of the anemone for long. I'm hoping this is a sign she will host soon. The male doesn't seem as interested mind you.

I should add this is a purple tipped haitian anemone so it is not a natural host for any clownfish. I do know people have got tomatos to host it though.

Is this a normal sign for clowns to be doing before hosting?
 
Well I will say that I myself have had tomatos host in Hiatian Anemones befor and they really never hosted just hovered over the anemone!They can/will host them but cant say that this is a sign of hosting.And to be hinest its the anemone that host the clown not the clown that host the anemone,however the clown has to give a bit also!
