Symbiotic Relationships in a Reef Tank

[ca1ore]

Two of my favorites ....


I also like the goby/shrimp partnership but my zebra eel always ate the shrimp.

I have a pair of clowns. The female loves my anemone but the male cant get close without her being territorial. Magical to see the symbiosis but quite sad for the male.

Awesome thread!! I love to watch symbiotic, and even commensal relationships, I feel like it just makes you appreciate the different little critters.

Love seeing cleaner shrimp cleaning fish off. Don’t have a video though!

Never observed it myself, but have read that peppermint shrimp have a symbiotic relationship with sponges.
