    Since i've had my cuc for about 2 weeks now, i've noticed that my female clown LOVES these critters. It's funny, she hovers over them and gets as low as she possibly can. Right now she's actually swimming right on top of the sandbed and hovering over them. It's like she's friends with them. I've also seen her hover over them when their on the rocks and even knock a few down, but never harm anything. I think it's really cool how she loves these inverts, by hovering over them and swimming downwards watching them.

    Any of your fish do this to your inverts? Are they really communicating, they really look like they are.

    My Chevron Tang follows around my Tuxedo Urchin... They are always together though it seems.

    Mine clown loves my crabs. He always hovers over them and pokes them with his mouth. Since I added the snails today he's being hanging out with them. My other fish don't notice my inverts at all (hopefully my pygmy hawkfish won't notice my dwarf ceriths, otherwise they might be lunch!).
