Yeah, its a defense mechanism, to make them look bigger than they really are. I wasn't trying to make him puff up... I had the mirror around my anemones trying to coax my clowns to them and he just happened to pass by. But it surely made me laugh!I wasn't saying he was stressed, the act of puffing up is a defense mechanism. If he feels threatened that's what he does. I have an anthron dogface and would never try to make him puff up.

mine is in a mixed reef as well- doesnt bother my snails or shrimp or coral- until i added a red monti cap and a green monti cap. in the matter of one night he devoured the red one and not the green. other than that he hasnt bothered a thing. eats like a piggy too.
