Pistol makes an appearance!!

I recently rehomed my beautiful Gold Striped Maroon Clownfish and Purple Sebae Anemone.

It was a hard decision to make, but the GSM was constantly burying any corals within it's "personal space." It's personal space and my idea of it's personal space were very different. I got tired of constantly moving Zoanthids further away, only to find out that the GSM still didn't think they were far enough away...lol.

Well, the other day, another added benefit appeared...literally. My Pistol Shrimp/Watchman Goby almost always were in hiding. Their hole happened to be behind and kind of under the Sebae. The GSM probably had something to do with the secretiveness of the shrimp and goby. In the absence of the GSM and Sebae, the two must feel more bold. The pictures aren't that great because the Pistol Shrimp is digging and throwing sand everywhere.

That is too cool. I will have to get a pair

Very cool! I have a pistol in my tank that has not been seen in at least a year.... but I hear it regularly

 

[returnofsid]

Yeah, they're noisy. I hear mine every night. I always know when something is invading it's hole. Sounds like it's "snapping" out a tempo.

What wonderful pictures! I have a bullseye that I have heard for 6 years, son bought it for me as a "reef lobster"
Only seen it since went bare bottom: up through the bottom of the tank

[jake65]

they look great Mike, I guess I was lucky when they were in my tank, their burrows were always right up front

 

[returnofsid]

Hiya Jake. Good seeing you!! I think my GSM harassed them into hiding too much. They're sure happy now!! LOL I bet seeing them brings back some wonderful memories huh? J/K. All that digging, sand everywhere, worrying about corals getting buried....rocks falling....lol. Nah, they're an awesome pair!! You raised them well!!
