Midnight Clownfish hosting Feather Duster?!

TheJinxs · 02/17/2017, 11:43 AM

So, in our little tank our newest clownfish has recently started hosting our feather duster. Not sure what to think of this but the worm doesn't seem bothered by it. Go anywhere near it while cleaning the tank and it tucks tail and runs. The midnight clownfish starts making love to its head, all good. Has anyone else had this happen?

This doesn't make any sense.

Not sure what you mean by making love to its head. Mine is being hosted by my frogspawn and will suck on its tentacles weird really. It has been none to get carried away and actually break some of the tenticals off.

Sorry i cant help but would love to hear someone explain this haha. I know clowns are pretty crazy but the duster being ok with it is something else entirely...

Just noticed the same with mine, was more surprised by the feather duster not closing up

She would bury herself in the feather dusters crown and just wiggle back and forth. It's where she slept and spent most of her day. She did it for about 3 weeks. Then she decided to hide behind the protein skimmer.

I did attach a picture of it. You can see the black and white ocellaris hover ingredients around but the solid black one is deep in the crown.
