Strange behavior!


I have this Miniatus that tends to get right in my Morays face as if trying to get him to eat him?! I see this all the time at least once a week. Any ideas? PS Epidemic there is your anenome. I should be up next week some time and would love to finally deliver it and the monti frag as well.

Smeese- that's completely normal behaviors. Most of our tangs and angels do the same things to our morays. I think it kind of keeps the moray in line. Our big angels will actually kinda slap the morays with there tails. The tangs do more of what you see, just kind of a stiff posture..

Like Jeff said, I think it's normal behavior. My large Snowflake Eel got slapped in a face a lot by tangs and other fish. I need to mention however once the SFE retaliated against my Powder Blue Tang the ended fatally.

Steve, I think what you have there is a very rare strain of kamokozee Miniatus......Keep all your aircraft carriers away from the tank!

LOL He is definately suicidal. Fortunately he has grown at a ridiculous rate. Fortunately for him that is. He will steal whole shrimp right from the eels mouth.
