One of my Percs live in a group of hairy mushrooms.
He does them no harm.. But don't panic of the Clown
gets black splotches on him. Sometimes that can happen
with non-anemone hosts.. My Perc is almost all black along
the bottom.

my two juvenile clowns have suddenly taken a liking to my furry mushrooms,
as a proxy anemone. they roll on their sides among the furry(?) bits and
lay into the mushrooms at night. when feeding the mushrooms would
occasionally close up like an anemone. has this tricked them into thinking
that these are the real thing. both clowns are relatively young and only
about an inch long and as such I was advised that they would be difficult to
acclimatise to an anemone and so not to bother buying one.
is this behaviour ok to let continue or should I buy an anemone or maybe
move the mushrooms to another part of the tank.
