I got a new anemone and it was not in the tank for more then 2 hour, when my Domino Damsel swam into it. The Domino then started to run the other fish way from the anemone. I will try and get a picture of it posted. Has enyone had this happen?

Nope. But I do know that if the damsel touches the anemone, it may and will sting the fish causing the damsel to die.

Domino's may take to a host anemone. It seems like I read they do it while they are young, but stop after a while. Not sure, but I know that in the wild they do it.

Yes, I had that happen. Clowns and damsels are in the same family and it is common for them to host in an anemone. Mine also got very aggressive when he took over the anemone.
