Percula Magnifica odd behavior

[greekspec2]

I noticed today my female keeps trying to swim her head into the mouth of the anemone off and on which I have no clue why. It looked like a clownfish trying to swim into a butthole put it frankly anyone know why?

I can't speak to why it's trying to swim into the mouth. Just the clownfish's own quirks I suppose? I will say you have a gorgeous setup, but that magnifica will outgrow that tank. I passed on a magnifica to a friend with a very large tank because it got the size of your entire tank. Just FYI, you might not want to plan to have it in there long term

My saddlebacks go right inot the mought of the haddonis. Totally normal, albeit, a bit strange. It can get two into the mouth at times. Just a cool relationship.
I do mean all the way, cannot even see the tail.

honestly I bought this setup over 10 yrs ago and I decided to set it up temporary over the summer till I move to a permanent location and allow me to setup my 180gal.
