Weird Behavior

My Sebae Clownfish Is hosting a Long Tentacle. When startled he goes inside the anenome's mouth, All the way in when you can't see him anymore. Is this bad, if so what should I do about it?

Sounds strange, but are either the clown or the anemone showing signs of stress from it? If they are not, then I would not worry about it, it must be something that works for them.

I've seen them do this at the LFS and the clowns looked unaffected, though this was a tank of about 15 clowns and 3 or 4 anemones, so I'm sure the anemones weren't too happy with that many critters crawling all over them. Doubly so since the clowns ducked for cover every single time someone walked by the tank, so normal, I'd say yeah, but I don't know what affect it would have on an anemone.
