Do Banggais host anemones?

[rosebud161616]

So we picked up one of those awesome rainbow BTAs from Midwest Saltwater at the last fragswap. Since putting it in the tank, our female Banggai has taken an extreme liking to it. She hangs out right between it and the glass. She definitely hits the tentacles and doesn't seem to mind. She'll come out and swim around the tank, flirt with the male, eat, but then always returns to her anemone.

Anyone ever experienced this before?

Yes, cardinalfish are known to host anenomes.

I would like to see that too!!
It is awesome if they are hosting though!

Wow I had no idea either! We took a pic but it really doesn't do it much justice. It's orange with a green base and some yellow in the tips. Let me find it and I'll go ahead and post it.
