Just wondering if anyone else out there has a Coral banded that has developed a relationship with any of its other tank mates? After doing some aquascaping my gold CB is now roaming about the tank more than ever. What is even more odd to me is it shares a hole with my dragon goby and accompanies my Valentini puffer at lights out while it sleeps on my magnetic cleaner "the Valentini is an odd cat in itself". I missed the photo op of my CB chilling on the back of my goby as I was semi struck in amazement due to my understanding that CB's don't typically have these relationships?
 
Thats nice ive never seen that with cbs. But ive seen symbiotic replationships with some other shrimp and a blind fish
 
Unfortunately my Coral Banded tries to eat any fish that comes near it :( ....they tend to be more aggressive then the other species of cleaner shrimp.
 
See that's what I always knew about them.... until I got this one and it kind of blows my mind how Mellow he really is. When I bought him from my LFS he dropped his claws in the net and had to regrow them and I have been wondering if this has anything to do with it?
