In Nature my mushroom coral pipefish live in fungia coral but will my rock flowers eat or sting em?

 

Do pipefish live in pairs or groups?

 

My pipefish eat frosen food so will my pipefish stop eating frosen if i feed em live food to?

 

I have 4 mushroom pipefish in a 8gallon and 3 in 3,5gallon and 2 in 2,2gallon tank is that ok or?

 

Can mushroom coral pipefish swim or only walk?

rock flowers can and are capable of eating most fish, usually its recommended to not keep any stinging coral or invert with pipes.

 

usually adults are found in pairs, but that being said it depends on species.

 

what frozen are you feeding? usually its best to keep them on frozen if they are already on it.

 

i cant find any info on size of the species, so its hard to tell, but you will run into water quality issues because pipes usally need to be fed often.

 

pipefish in general are poor swimmers so its safe to assume its primary mode of transportation is walking, but may swim if needed

Ok i need to get rid off the flowers then cus the pipe fish are sitting on em right now so the flower only need to close to eat it.

 

No stigning coral ? Fungia is a stinging coral but this pipefish live only in fungia in Nature right?

Reef safe hitchikker snails???????

the big one?

 

thats the general rule, if they are like clowns then they must secret a mucus that the fungia recognizes and not food. so its hard to say if its safe or not, clowns can still be consumed by anemonies just the same. there isnt much info on that specific species care, so its mostly just based on their near cousins. does anyone near you have them?

No one near me has the pipefish cus this is the 1.time import to Denmark and i got 9 of 20 and that is why i have em in 3.tanks.

I was hoping some of you have them in the US.
