What other fish associate with anemones?

[ThePurple12]

Besides the clownfish and the domino damsels, are there any fish that associate with anemones?

One of my Chromis likes to hang out in the Condy Nem.

Does it actually touch its tentacles??

Not really, he just hovers right above the nems mouth for a good portion of the day. It’s my only reddish coral/invert in the tank. Maybe that is why.

My cardinal will hang out in my LTA all the time, tentacles touching it and all.

I have a baby regal angel who gets extremely close or even hangs out under one of my magifica. He is either confused because he was too long housed only with anemonefish or likes living dangerously...

As of fish that really use anemones as hosts - there is at least one Mediterranean/East Atlantic goby species, Gobius bucchichii, that lives in association with the Snakelocks anemone (Anemone viridis).

(from https://reefs.com/2017/11/19/mediteraneans-anemone-fish/#:~:text=Bucchichs, or Anemone Gobies, are,an easy fish to miss.)

And if we expand this to anemone-like corals like Heliofungia actiniformis then there are pipefish (Siokunichthys nigrolineatus - Mushroom pipefish) who use those as hosts:

I think you’re right. Probably everything in the family Pomacentridae.

I just quoted you:)
