No they are seen in the wild doing this as well. They are known for hosting anemones. Actually Clownfish belong to the damsel family if I'm not mistaken. Anyway no harm except that domino will be very aggressive to other fish!

I believe they have a similar slime coat like the clownfish and are very tolorent to the sting. These are the only other fish that can host a nem. Please correct me if Im wronge....

Actually, see pic of clown goby in anemone on this forum somewhere... They chilled together. My clowns weren't very happy though.

I had one do it in my tank as well kinda thought the anemone was about to eat him but then I realized he was just brushing himself with the anemone but mine did get very very aggresive towards other fish when they came near
