    condy hosting a domino damsel

    I have a domino damsel that lives in a condy anemone, is this normal?
    They both seem very happy.

    I'm not sure if it is normal in captivity but many damsel fish make home in anemones in the wild.Clownfishes are damsels as well,just wearing a disguise

    Thanks zhenya, the more I read the more I see it's not that uncommon. It's very entertaining to watch

    Indeed it is I'm still amazed at the relationship between anemones and clownfish even after watching it for few years.

    Enjoy it

    Thanks again. I've read they get very aggressive and their colors fade as they get older. That makes me said because he's so cute now. Do you know how long it takes them to reach maturity?
