Hello hello

First post here and just wanted to share the odd tank friends that’s have developed in my tank.

My trigger and puffer share shrimp when being hand fed.

My puffer fish hangs out and sleeps on top of the hermit crabs.

The trigger protects all the snails and even hangs out with a peppermint shrimp in his log.

I know it might now last forever lol but their personalities are not what I expected at all lol.

I have 5 morays who love to cuddle. Sometimes I just look in the tank and there is a ton of eel sticking out of one single cave.

Not to worry, they have a whole 8 foot 300 gallon tank with lots of rock but still choose to cuddle 🙂

Hello hello

First post here, but just thought it would be interesting to share the odd tank mate developments lol

My trigger and puffer fish share shrimp when being hand fed.

My puffer fish hangs out and lays on top of the hermit crabs when he is in lounge mode.

My trigger fish will keep other fish away from snails and even hangs out with peppermint shrimp in his log.

Might not last forever but thought their currently dynamic was adorable lol

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
