Aurortpa Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I have the smaller species, purple coral banded shrimp, stenopus tenuirostris, who has been residing with my YWG. The YWG usually runs off anything that comes close but doesn’t seem to mind the CBS. I didn’t think CBS went into symbiotic relationships, other than cleaning stations on a rare occasion? Is this unique? I know that sometimes YWG host candy cane pistol shrimps, is my YWG confused? Lol Quote Link to comment

Snow_Phoenix Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 That brittle star probably set them up on their first date. It's been love at first sight ever since. 1 Quote Link to comment
Aurortpa Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Now my serpent star, seems to want to stay and join the fun. I’ve got a manage-a-trois making a permanent residence in his cave 😂 Quote Link to comment
mndfreeze Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Tolerating the CBS vs symbiosis, IMO. A lot of fish/shrimp/crabs that are not predators of each other will tolerate living together, especially when one species is a cleaner type. 1 Quote Link to comment
