Can I adopt ya please?

Playa · 12-16-2003, 01:22 AM

I have a pair of tank raised mated perculas that have decided to adopt my Orange capricornis. They hang out over it and sleep there also. They never leave it alone other than just to get food when I feed the reef.

In my 65(still up and running)I have a Skunk clown that adopted a colony of Zoanthids.

What other similar experiences could you share:-)

Luis

In this picture I capture one of the two as the other is a little camera shy.

This little guy will snuggle in the soft tissue of this open brain. He protects this coral all day and sleeps on it at night. If my dragon goby drops substrate on this coral, this little guy will spend the next several minutes carefully brushing it off with his nose. Ya gotta love these relationships that indicate a happy tank!

HAP,

My Maroon killed my brain over time by over stimulation. Hope that doesn't happen to yours!

Thanks, Craig. I'll watch for any signs of distress. So far no problems though. They have been together about eight months. Both appear happy.

Sounds great JFYI, God's speed!

It is to funny, great to see to. I have a bicolor blenny that has adopted one of my outputs in my tank. When the water flow moves over to the opposite bank he dives into it and just sits and watches, the valve turns over and blows him across the tank, he then goes into another pipe that is not flowing and does the same thing. This is all he dose all day, form one pipe to the other..talk about the need for speed,

LOL that must be fun to watch

I have had a pair of tank raised false perculas for 3 years....they have never been interested in any coral in my tank

They have only taken over a back corner that they dance and party in constantly!

Here is one of my clowns in its corkscrew LTA anemone (Macrodactyla doreensis)
The other one sits atop a large toadstool leather.
