Weirdest thing, Carpet anemone and Bi color

blue_eyes53813 · 08-25-2007, 03:56 PM

Last night I went down to the tank to turn on my drip. I turned the ceiling light on in the living room.. I saw something moving under the edge of my carpet anemone. I got the flash light and it was my bi color blennie tucked under my anemone laying real still like they do../ Very odd. My carpet moved up to the top of my rock work and has been there since I got it. 6 months ago. It touches acros, my monti cap, an acan. but doesnt seem to bother anything. Does somebody know if some carpets have less stinging power? If I touch it with the net or prongs for feeding it will grab it. It is very sticky. I cant believe the bi color was able to swim under it like that.

I don't think the anemone can sting something underneath it, so that's probably why the blenny wasn't stung and eaten, unless you have a very well fed anemone that didn't want to eat it anyways.

Thanks Kazzy.. The bi color is under it again tonight.. I keep waiting for it to be carpet food. The bi color doesnt have any sores on it..

I have a coral beauty angel and a yellow headed goby that both cruise around near and under my sebae. They must know the underside is safe.
I thought my angel had a death wish so I named him eivel knievel. lol
Gary the goby just isn't very bright.
