flasher wrasse sharing YWG's burrow?

[Moonstream]

I ust recently added to my 75g tank 3 firefish, 1 carpenters flasher wrasse (who is transitioning into adult coloration from his juvi phase) and a pretty large YWG. the goby made a home under a rock, only to have the wrasse cram himself in as well. I was wondering if this is normal? I assume not...

thanks for any help, also, unrelated, but around how long will it take for him to change into his adult coloration? thanks in advance!

My YWG used to share his hole with my firefish...

I think that it was just him trying to hide. now he is out and about and looks much better.

actually, last night, the YWG did share his hole with firefish. three of them. and a 3.5" long wrasse. and a serpent star. I feel kind bad for the little guy LOL, his home was highjacked. it was funny to see 5 fish and a sea star crammed into a hole that is about 2.5" wide, and 1" at its highest ponit and .25" at its lowest. I cant belive they all fit. LOL, silly fishies.

At night they cocoon rather than bury. Probably just hiding.

yep, he was definetly just hiding. and he did form a cucoon last night, keeping him and the 4 other fish he was with safe. I think that they all just found that hole to their liking.

Your ywg should take it as a compliment, then!
