I'm just glad most of the time, I'm learning something wondering rather than painful.
My bicolor blenny started to host an umbrella mushroom coral last night.
At first, I thought my unbrella mushroom swallowed my blenny whole!
Then it poked its head out when I put pellets in the water. I breathed a sigh of relief.
Since then, he's been spending most of his time in the coral instead of hopping from one rock to another.
The weirdest thing is that the mushroom closes up just slightly to contour the blenny's body whenever he goes in. He fits in there perfectly. It looks like a mermaid bathing in a tub.
At night when the mushroom closes up into a ball, he's be completely inside and only pokes his head out at times.
I did not know about this symbiotic relationship. It was a pleasant surprise.
I'd upload a picture, but every picture I try to upload fails.
