Hardest Working Fish In Your Aquarium?

[PeterC99]

Will you count crustaceans? If so, the pistol shrimp in my 20g who is the equivalent of a bulldozer or my spider conch in my 110g who goes nonstop like a street sweeper in Philly

Crustaceans count! Very important part of a balanced aquarium!

Definitely my melanurus wrasse. Pests don’t stand a chance. He eats anything. He also bullies by clean up crew but it’s worth keeping him around.

Pound for pound it's our queen coris. If it's not bolted down or heavier than 4lbs it's going to get flipped and moved, inspected and pests eradicated mercilessly. He uses the same burrowing technique as when he's going to sleep to go through the entire sand bed unearthing anything he can, over and over.

This is a year and a half old photo and he's almost 9" below.
