Anemone hosting dominos

I should probably change my name to AReefGeek instead of TheReefGeek

And I can always say I am just TheReefGEEK, not TheReefNERD.

Yes, I saw this behaviour while diving in Fiji. Large schools of them occupying the same anemone.

I have read of damsels being called members of the 'anemonefish' family along with clowns. (I don't know if that's a real name or not)
One of the coolest photos I've seen was of two dominos hosting inside the mantle of a giant clam.

Its actually the other way around. Clowns are a sub family of damsels. Helps to explain why they can be such fiesty little beggars sometimes or even outright bullies.
