Is this nesting behavior? She’s never shown a bit of interest in the sinularia in over 2 years. Now she’s hosting it like it’s an anemone and has a particular interest in the little hole in the middle of the zoathids. She’s even pecking at some of them. She’s also a giant ****** when you put your hand in the tank.

It is possible but I have 4 breeder pair and they lock lips, clean an area together, usually a bare area and not amongst coral. The hand biting is a female trait/behavior and annoying when they do that

My male clown does that, he would peck a spot among the mushrooms,they would close up and the clowns would lay eggs. Since I removed their mushrooms, they have taken up in a frammer and below that is a candy cane which looked like something nibbled on a few times.
