Clownfish going in anemone only sometimes.

[William Spak]

Hello all,

I observed this morning, as my anemone was in the middle of opening up, that my clownfish was burrowed inside, which gave me great joy as I've been hoping they'd go in. However, as the anemone expanded, and the tentacles spread out, the clownfish now are not going in the anemone. I kinda like it better when the tentacles are closer together but I'm not sure I can change that.

I feel like my nem is very spread out most of the time- is this good?

I've attached some pictures to those of you who are curious as to what it looks like(it's pretty nice!!)

Thanks,
Will

Well do you stay in the same place all the time?
Clown fish goninto anemones for protection so if there’s nothing else on your tank he has no reason to hide
