I have some interesting things happen in my tank. I have 3 fish that have done wierd behaviours. I have an anemone that is hosting a clown ( rare but normal.) A Hawkfsh is hosting a soft coral ( strange?). The weirdest is a 3 1/2 inch blue Tang that has fallen in love with a 1" dragonette goby. He follows the goby around and lays down on top of the goby as well! The goby liikes it! Anyone have other weird fish behaviours to report?

My scopas tang follows my diamondback goby around and tries to get close but my goby is having none of it lol. Meanwhile my Yellowback Damsel is trying to be best friends with the tang and the tang isn't interested. The clowns love to host my nem but they sleep behind my HOB overflow lol.

I watched my mandarin pick at a nice, fat vermetid ten times just before I left for work. It was apparently eating the snail's mucus web and food particles that had been caught in it. And then went for the mollusc itself. It was like watching a very slow, clumsy child (with a perpetually surprised look on its face) try to play a game of Whack-a-Mole. With only one hole.
