something funny.

[jony nuemonic]

its hilarious,i just got a anemone today and instead of the percula clownfish,the white spot damsel took to it immediately.shouldnt he be getting stung?hilarious,i have never seen or heard of anything like it.i hope the clown eventually boots the damsel and takes it over.

happens alot! white spot damsels are A- holes!

 

[nubz]

what kinda anemone!

 

[jony nuemonic]

i honestly dont know,my buddy gave it to me and i didnt get the name from him.

 

[russisloud]

that is kind of funny, but it dose look good

 

[mr.reef24]

look's like Dascyllus trimaculatus aka ( Domino Damsel ) that is typical for them to do that and go in an anemone they aren't affected by the sting.

unless you're really attached to the domino, i'd remove it. they get big and become [if they aren't already] major a-holes.
i rather doubt your clown is going to be able to chase it away from the nem.

my first fish was a domino damel [LFS' advocating cycling with fish] couldnt bear to give him away so he lived out the rest of his days in my sump.

 

[mr.reef24]

if you don't want the damsel anymore take him back to your LFS for some store credit.

Anemone looks like a Sebae or LTA. (Long tentacle anemone)

 

[Reefscape]

The nem is an LTA...It is common for this too occur with Damsels due too thier family links with clownfish...these protect themselves in the same way that clownfish do by getting the mucus from the nem on to their bodies and the nem with then ignore the fish being inside the tentacles.

Clownfish and Damsels are not naturally immune to anemone stings. They will spend time swimming through a potential host to transfer mucus from the anemone to the fish's body, and from the fish to anemone. Eventually, the nem gets used to the fish, and the fish gets used too the sting to the point where it no longer affects the fish.....The symbiotic relatioship is formed and they start working together..They work together by the anemone protecting the slow swimming fish in its tentacles and by the fish providing food for the nem and the nem recieving nutrition from the waste products of the fish...

Ok...rambled enough now...


move along...nothing too see here....move along....
