I recently got a white fang Blenny and 2 skunk clownfish. The Blenny and clownfish never leave each others side! They travel around the tank in a pack. Eat together, sleep together, stare at my hermit crabs, they do everything together!
Wanted to reach out and see what odd couples ( or trios) you all have in you’re tanks!

Wow!!!! Do you think they realize their different?
I actually have a bonded pair of the wheeler gobies. The tailspot blenny hangs with them quite frequently.

Now if we could all get along like that the world would be a better place!

I once had 2 different genus of wrasses that were best friends and borderline bonded pair. One was a blue star leopard, the other was a hoeven's.

My Clarkii Clowns have paired with my Coral Beauty and not with each other. They take turns cruising the tank with it separately. They were a pair living in a LTA when I bought them but apparently have an amicable divorce and share the same lover. They are the same size even though I’ve had them since December.

My valentini puffer likes to stick close to my foxface.

Do you like it better that way? Or would you rather the clowns get back to get her again lol

Not sure. It’s ok right now, but I think it’s a potential problem. I’m not sure if they’re both still male or if they are both becoming female. They are both enormous and evenly matched so that chick-fight would really suck.

My female clown likes the male clown and the largest Domino damsel. The male clown likes the female clowns and sort of the smaller two domino damsels. The large domino damsel despises everyone but the female clown. And the two smaller domino damsels don't care for anyone.
My fore hiddey hole crabs hide and pester the anemone crab. My pom pom crab hides most of the time. My decorator crab thinks he is boss. My arrow crab is cool in the background. My scarlet hermit stays out of everyone's way. My white flat clawed hermit thinks it is the boss and is in a constant quarrel with the larger hermit. Finally my largest hermit knows it is the boss it even stole the anemone right of the white flat clawed hermits back.
