Favorite reef Bio interactions?

[doctormario777]

Hi, I was just wondering what some of your favorite reef specimen relationships have been. I'm thinking about things like cleaner gobies and larger fish, clownfish and anemonies, etc.

So what are some of your favorites in your tanks?

That's awesome!

Your aipastia's don't bother anyone else in the tank?

And what's the details on that first pic?

It was an old experimental tank. It was set up with only them as a filter. Lasted 2 years before I took it down.

And what's the details on that first pic?

Just a blood shrimp cleaning a purple psudocromis. If you notice, the fish is upsidedown. He did that everytime he was being cleaned. Always thought it was funny.

Love a goby/pistol shrimp pair

Do you keep your pistol shrimp in a reef setup? Ever have any problems with him?

My neon gobies ride around on my BT tang almost every night just as the lights go out. Hard to photograph because they wait until it is too dark to get a shot. I had no idea that a fish that is less than three inches long would accept being cleaned by a fish just a bit smaller than it. It looks rather funny.

That, and of course, my LTA and clownfish symbiosis.

Very cool. Love the screen name, btw.

Does my arm in the tank count? I can't feed my corals without the cleaner shrimp bouncing around on my hand and the clowns biting at my arm hair.

Wow, Great question!

I would probably have to say my Cirrhilabrus roseafascia or Rose banded wrasse. Very personable, and one of my favorite fish.

Probably a jawfish attempting to use cerith snails to reinforce his burrow.

For my tank, I enjoy seeing my: diamond goby bringing cerith and nassarius snails into his burrow; cleaner shrimp interacting with fish; and clownfish playing in their BTA.
