I have a Domino Damsel that sometimes sleeps on my torch , it will also swim into it and almost vibrate while in it. Just curious what it is doing. The torch doesn’t seem to mind as it doesn’t close up after. It usually does it to the green torch in the front but I finally got it on video on the one in the back. TIA

Domino damsels live in host anemones in the wild. It thinkts the torch coral is an anemone

I have heard domino damsels will be very defensive of anemones but funny enough the three at my work are chickens lol
