I recently got some green Gonipora (Flowerpot). This morning when I looked at my tank, my 3-Spot Domino Damselfish had entered into a relationship with it! I didn't know these Damselfish did any hosting at all.

Anyone else ever hear of such a thing?

This is the first symbiotic relationship I've ever experienced in my tanks. I have a clown too, but no Anemone, so he's not hosting anything right now.
 
Hmm.. I have a blue damsel that is real cozy with my zooanthid.. he hangs out behind and on top of it.. I don't know if the zoo is hosting the damsel but it really looks cool!
 
Dominos are very prone to hosting in anemones... You will get one of them to host sometimes when the clowns will not....A lot of damsels will host anemones.. it is in their genes.. They are relatives of Clownfish or visa versa...
