clown hosted!!

[jthomas0385]

One of my clowns finally (after 2 months) hosted my BTA. Its funny though because the clown that hosted will not let the other clown near his anemone. He will lay in the host and rub all over it for awhile but then he will swim around the tank for awhile. is it normal for the clown to leave its host for a period of time to roam? I'm sure it is I just always thought that once they host they never leave the anemone.

yes its normal, the one that the anemone hosts is most likley the dominate one, and will become the female. In time she will let the other join her in the anemone, but for now she is staking her claim.
