Purple Tang Hosting Carpet anemone?

[Brett Stricker]

Hey y’all! (Backstory)We got a 60 gallon tank around a month or 2 ago and when moving it from the owner a blue tang got spooked and went into the carpet anemone and sadly perished, (actualQuestion)BUT the purple tang that was also in the same tank and touched, brushed, and had a lot of his body touch him without any problems, no scaring no pain and the anemone doesn’t even care. Any thoughts?

Very Very Unusual

I would expect if that behavior continues, the carpet will eventually get the better of the Tang..

We have already planned to move him into a new system anyway but it was very strange
