Lol Murray!

If you watch the first few seconds of the video very closely, the damsel is actually sinking downwards on it's side. You can see it is discoloured too before it even gets put in the anemone. The clownfish grabs the damsel's tail, and it looks like it pulls it down and 'backwards' (relative to the camera's point of view), directly into the anemone... The damsel just continues to 'float along' until it gets stung. Anybody who has ever poked a sick fish while it is just laying there will know that they freak out when disturbed... it looks like that is what the damsel did after it realized the anemone was stinging.

I feel bad for the poor damsel, sucks to get beat up by another clown and then stung to death.

Also, I found it interesting how the maroon clown was watching it happen and how 'cool' the clarkii seemed to be with it's close proximity.

Thanks for sharing,

Chris
