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.

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!
