Jawfish and eel share burrow. Video

[Perpetual Novice]

I don’t know if this is a common occurrence but I noticed my white ribbon eel and pearly Jawfish sharing a burrow today. They seem to be very comfortable living together. Below is a short video I took. Sorry the tank is not looking it’s cleanest at the moment.

That’s awsome, I’m not too knowledgeable on ribbon eels but I’d keep an eye on aggression

Nice, my dusky jawfish and ribbon eel have been sharing a burrow lately too.

What is that yellow thing? Anemone?
I thought it was a giant sun coral first!

That is very cool. I would have thought that the jawfish would be eaten, but perhaps it's too big at the moment?

It's a dendro. Its non-photosynthetic but regularly captures enough food from when I feed the tank that I don't often specifically target it with food. Honestly not my first choice in coral but it's my girlfriend's favorite and she insisted on getting one. its been happy for the 3 months we've had it so far.

I like it! I didn't know they get so big!
