Yellow tang loves Naso tang

[akaza]

I have a 60 gallon reef that have a few fish. Today I went and bought a little Naso tang ( he is about 2.5 "). Something very interesting happened.

Since the time he has been in the aquarium a couple of clowns have gotten a little territorial and are getting a little aggressive. But then I saw the most interesting thing and it really sounds amazing. Every single time the Naso comes out the yellow tang who is 3 times his size positions himself between the Naso and any other fish. Its amazing to watch the relationship. He does this constantly and pushes the other fish (specifically the two clowns ) away.

I hope by tomorrow all gets ok but I have not seen this kind of a bond before and wanted to share.

that's very neat. I've heard of this kind of behavior before, one specific fish being the peace keeper in an aquarium, but I can't remember the species of fish.

and I'd love to see a video too!
