Cleaner Shrimp in Action

[darknes]

I managed to get a shot of my cleaner shrimp approaching my LMB (who seems to be the only fish that appreciates the shrimp's favor). The second shot is the shrimp cleaning inside my LMB's mouth.
My shrimp always hides whenever it sees me, so I had to sneak up on it.

The rest of the pics are a few others of my tank I took.

It's a Long-Nosed Blue-Striped Puffer. A type of Toby Puffer (they're small). It's not supposed to be reef-safe. I bought him after my LMB and clowns, and then decided I wanted corals. I started adding corals and inverts, and he never bothered them.

He's a great fish, and VERY docile. One of my fav's! His stripes are also more neon blue than in the pictures!

The Puffer and clown have been together a little over a year. Like I said before, the puffer is VERY docile, and gets along with all the fish. I posted a video clip a while back where the puffer and LMB had a tug-of-war fight over some food.

so that puffer isn't bothering anything?...im just wondering...if thats standard behavior

That is definitely not standard behavior. I had a Hawaiian spotted puffer that I had to take back to my LFS for credit when I started to convert to a reef tank. Mine would have eaten the shrimp and all of those corals by now. You are lucky to have such a docile one as they are fun fish to have!

I have one really cool fish (not as big) but its the same color as that one.

 

[monalisa]

That really is a cool looking LMB, I've also only seen them in gray or kinda brown...and then I thought they were cool, but you're green one is really unique, I think.
