Got home and first thing's first, look at the tank. My clowns rarely travel far from their return nozzle. Didn't see the dominant clown, though. I looked down, and she was laying on her side on the GSP rock. I yelled "Oh, no!" Thinking she'd died. Well, that woke her up, and she bolted back to her return nozzle, acting totally normal now.

Did I catch her napping? Was she considering GSP as a host other than the luxurious return nozzle? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sounds like it. Mine hang out near the GSP, but it closes up every time they go too close. Poor things, I need to get them an anemone.

Not a guarantee. This is what I have for them:

And apparently the gsp in the bottom left is more enticing:
