every once in a while one of my clown fish will swim right into the mouth of my carpet anemone. and i mean all the way into the body cavity. the mouth closes behind the fish, and i guess it turns around in there, then a few seconds later it pops back out? is this fish suicidal or what:lol:
 
Maybe your fish are playing “Truth or Dare” or “Hide and Seek”... :lol:
That is bizarre! :D
 
naww since he put so much attention on the clams, the clown now is desperate to get some attention..... maybe she's ready to do the spring off thingy :D ;) .
 
dood your clown is going through so hard depression.... what did you do to the poor fish

maybe its trying to lore our cat into it. :D




ill keep a lookout for it doing it and try to get a photo of it but dont get your hopes up
 
That is crazy!
I also would love to see it.. Here is an Idea, maybe the clown is feeding the Anemone, you know this is common behavior in clowns, I just never heard of them swimming all the way into a carpets mouth and live to talk about it..

when we had a carpet anemone, our clown did it to, but not to the point where the mouth closes around it!!! just kinda stuck her head or butt in there, mainly when we went by or scared her. that is to funny though!!!
