My domino damselfish keeps laying in my anemone, its causing the anemone to shrink up and the damsel seems like it's being stung but it keeps coming back to lay in it. Is this a problem

Edit. Just googled "damselfish in anemone" and domino damselfish popped up... which is making me think I need to remove this damsel because the anemone already hosts my clowns and they have been fighting since the domino tried hosting
Will fighting hosts stress the nem out?

Maybe get one for each of them or a torch?

Baby domino=anemone. Get another nem or wait till it grows/clowns get really angry and chase it off. Just FYI... we put an adorable baby domino in our 500 gallon tank. Eventually he got about 4” long, ugly, and mean as a snake. We had to use a tiny hook to get him out.
