another anenome question

[Troy F]

That's a normal behaviour and is open to speculation but you're probably close to the mark. There are a few theories on the whole acclimatation process. Daphne Fautin and Gerald Allen co-wrote a book entitled; Anemone Fishes And Their Host Sea Anemones. I've noticed similar behaviour in my pair and their host. Another odd behaviour is that every night the female kicks the male out while the actinics are on and he doesn't come back in until lights out.
