I don't think your thought/idea got through there. What did you mean to say?

you know how clowns will host/ take home to an anenome well my damsels took home to in and sit inside it will the rbta eat or sting it

No I don't think the RBTA will hurt them any. I've seen/heard of not only clowns hosting in some weird non-anemone things, but I've also heard of fish other than clowns hosting in anemones. I wouldn't worry about it. It's kinda cool to see a symbiotic relationship of any kind develop in our little slices of the ocean.

I was just messing with you. I agree with kau_cinta_ku. Clownfish are just a more clam version of a Damsel. Actually my mated False Percs bite me when I stick my hands in the tank.

I heard of Damsels doing this when they are young and then grow out of it.

js_bass · 10/25/2007, 09:34 PM

My clowns also bite when i put my hand to close to the anemone. It sometimes hurts

kau-cinta-ku is very correct he said it all.

She will draw blood!
