If the wrasse is ok, consider it a rare treat. I would love to see a pic of the wrasse in the anemone.
My stupid Clownfish won't host the anemone but the wrasse seems happy with it. LOL

Thanks, everybody for your advice! I guess the only thing I can do is let nature take its course. The anemone and wrasse seem happy, I've even seen the wrasse bring Mysis shrimp to the anemone. Below I've attached a couple of pictures of the interaction.

Hello Everyone,

I am a young aquarist looking for advice. I have kept an anemone for about 3 years now. I recently bought a juvenile paddle fin rainbow wrasse. I don't have much experience with wrasses the main reason I bought the fish was to keep the population of bristle worms in my reef tank under control. However, after acclimating the fish it immediately was interested in my Rose bubble tip anemone. In the past couple of days, I have documented the wrasse swimming and apparently hosting my anemone. I am not sure whether I should intervene or not? I will appreciate any advice.
Welcome!

Happened to me… unfortunately kicked out my clownfish from the anemone…
