Default Bangaii & anemone

My large cardinal seems fascinated with my clowns anemone. He hangs just a inch away and close to the clown, who seems to be ok with it. And she is a large clarkii to boot.

My pair hangs out by my RBTA's, but I've read its natural behaviour as in the wild a lot of cardinal species can be found near anemones, hanging out within an inch of the tentacles.

In one of my old tanks I had a yellow tang that did the same thing. It was like they were friends. Even once the clowns started laying eggs the were still totally fine with the tang being 'right there'.
