Just got a BTA and have a question

I am brand new to the saltwater world - but so far it has been alot of fun. Tonight I picked up a BTA - after getting him into the tank - my clownfish took to him right away. My question is - my clownfish is "sucking" on the BTA - is this normal??? Also, do the BTA's go to "sleep" at night? As soon as we turned the lights off - he kinda pulled himself into the rock.
TIA

sounds totally normal to me..:)...Yes, they sometimes "suckle" on the tip of the anemones tentacle. Although I noticed that they give this habit up. And when the light is out, usually the anemone will shrink back a little. Just keep watch on the anemone though and look out for problems if any over the next few days.
