It seems one of my ocelleris clownfish, the larger of the pair, is best friends with my yellow tang. Not sure how this happened but the clownfish makes a point to hang around the tang, and they get really close to eachother. The pair of clowns still are together a lot, but i've noticed that the tang and female clown are really becoming good friends as of late. Now for my question:

Is this normal, and is there anything that could go wrong with this situation?

It just seems odd to me and I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience.
 
I don't know how normal it is but after reading this post, I'm believe it's more normal than not. I have a pair of maroon clowns that were tight til I added a yellow tang. Now the clowns hang out in separate anemones and the female clown and tang are inseparable. The home wrecker. lol
