spotcinctus clownfish pair hosting - male gets kicked out

[danh]

The female is quite a bit bigger. She almost immediately hosted the nem after I put it in. She's running the male away. They were in the tank together at Premier where I got them and my wife says they were both hosting the same nem there. Is this normal?

Not sure if it's normal but I'd ride it out. It's a new territory and the female has claimed it, the male will submit to her and she will prolly accept him back.

For clarity - they are being hosted by the anemone.

That's pretty normal for the female to run the male off. That's what keeps him male.

He'll be fine. He knows his place.

Muhahahahahaha.
