Fish moving stuff?

[Aquaph8]

Well one frag atleast. My blue tang has an obsession with my little alien eye chalice frag. No bite or harm at all, he just doesn't want it on my frag rack. I have a 6' 125 and I've found this one paticular frag all the way across the tank on multiple occasions. Anyone else have a fish do anything like this. Please share your experiece/thoughts.

I had a naso tang that did the same thing. His "toy" of choice was my algae clip. He would snatch it off the side of the tank and carry it around like a frisbee. He would also take it up to the top of the tank, drop it, then chase it down and snatch it before it hit the bottom. He was by far my most favorite fish and was very amusing, but he outgrew my 110g at the time.

I have a Niger Trigger that likes to pick up Turbo Snails by the point on their shell and move them around. He also moved my Royal Gramma out of his house, well at least in the day time. At night he goes somewhere else and the gramma goes in the rock to sleep. Crazy fish !

Its those kind of fish that make a tank fun to watch. I just wish he didn't use my frags.:hammer:

I have a crimson clown that is constantly re-arranging. She fans the sand and makes a huge pile on one end, and leaves the glass bottom showning under her anemone. She even picks up small pieces of shell and moves them out of her space. I enjoy watchin HER work as her mate just sits back and watches.

my blue spot jawfish grabs hermit crabs, frags, and snails to block his hole...since i eventually got tired of this, i added a bunch of empty snail shells for him...he loved it

My hippo tang doesn't like anything near it's sleeping spots. It will move frags and empty shells if it thinks they are encrouching on it's turf.

That's great. I think he's just playing fetch. Most I have is a clown who likes to fan sand everywhere.. not nearly as endearing.
