Should damsels be hanging in anenome?
I just bought a bubble tip anenome, and my damsels are sleeping in that thing. I thought it was the clown fish that was immune to the anenome? BTW I have a clow fish that has not attached to it.

clownfish are damsels, and in the wild there are some damsels that will also live in anemones.

I haven't seen that behavior before, but they are all in the same family so I'm not surprised.

Are they domino damsels? I think they are the kind that anemones host.

I have two black damsels and two striped damsels. My clown is the bully at the moment, so hopefully he will kick them out!
