Symbiosis!

ReefJCB · Jun 6, 2018

So, one of my favorite parts of this hobby is symbiotic relationships. Im wanting to get together a list of different symbiotic relationships, here is what I have so far...

Clown & Anemone
Pistol Shrimp & Goby
Sexy Shrimp & Anemone
Cleaner shrimp & Fish
Anemone Crab & Anemone

I'd love love for some input as to other creatures that benefit from each other in a reef tank.

Never forget the SR of coral and zooxanthellae. Also a shark and a Remora, but you'll need a pretty large tank!

It's funny that I didn't even think about coral an zooxanthellae, the most common SR that we deal with.

I love that too! So far, besides coral, I just have a shrimp and goby. But I can’t wait to get a pocillopora crab and coral (https://m.liveaquaria.com/product/2914/trapezia-pocillopora-acropora-crab?pcatid=2914&c=497+501+2914). See the little guys constantly when diving. Just waiting for my new tank to mature a bit!
