    Default Clownfish putting anemone in mouth

    So I was checking up on my tank and my clownfish is putting about 1/8'' of my anemone's tentacles in it's mouth. I got a video and it's uploading but is this normal..? The clown seems to not be getting hurt and the anemone is doing fine.

    its natural clownfish behavior,, they will even bite off tips of the anemone sometimes... nothing to worry about
