Blutang that think he is a clownfish

s14y3r · Feb 23, 2022

I have two maroon clown fish. Although they doesn't fight anymore, the bigger one seem to ignore the smaller one. And more intimate to my Blue tang. The weird thing is, my blue tang act like a clown fish

. It clean my BTA poop, try to pair with BTA. Keep other fish away from BTA accept the bigger maroon. play with the big maroon and so on. Only when sleeping time it go back and sleep like a tang, and also just a few inch from BTA.

Has any of you ever seen anything like this or happened to encounter other bizarre things.

I had a green urchin that actively hunted hermit crabs, bagging at least a half dozen snails, several hermits and even a horseshoe crab.

I have a strawberry Hawaiian crab that drags any lose frags from all over the tank to his lair every time he molts (this time he even managed to collect a small hammer).

I also have a dottyback (not a goby) that's been digging out a series of caves over the past few weeks - carrying and spitting out the sand into a nice, neat little pile. I had a green chromis who kept swimming into and preferring to live in the overflow.

And finally, I have a pair of clownfish that I purchased from a friend who collectively killed over two dozen other clownfish (we call them Bonnie and Clyde). The murderous behavior isn't unique - just the sheer number of corpses left in their wake.
