symbiotic

so this is interesting, when feeding my goby and pistol shrimp whom were both out, a bristle worm came out with them! it was touching the goby and he didn’t even seem to mind and when the goby went in the burrow it did too. i waited for it to come out enough and managed to yoink it out though...

I was wondering is there a species (similar to pompom crab) where they carry anemones / corals and they actually live. I've heard decorator crabs cut off zoans but do the polys live or just die? I really want a moving tiny reef so please tell me anything ASAP thx ^^
