Just used some airline tubing into a nearby bucket. I didn't want to use major suction that might damage the coral. I was expecting the hose to get clogged from the algae, but it slipped through nicely.
In case you didn't know, this is pair bonding and completely natural. The pistol shrimp shares its home with a goby. Watch closely in the video and you'll see how the shrimp keeps one antenna on the fish at all times. The reason for this: If the fish twitches, that's a quick signal to the shrimp to retreat to safety, usually in a hole under the rockwork. The fish has far better vision than the shrimp. The fish can swim into the hole for safety, or just to visit the shrimp, which I showed in a previous video. They are friends. They were purchased separately, but within 20 minutes paired up in my tank.
Glad your interruptus is still doing well! Sadly I lost mine. Ouch.
Happy father day Marc I think if u direct the nero in line with gorgonian it will not get algae on it again
I may lower it. I’ve been considering that for a bit. Good suggestion.
Awl Jack is happy 😊
Happy dad's day beautiful aquarium

Lol! Nice
What a great idea
Best ending. ❤
are you using a small pump to suck the water? or just a gravity siphon?

@@melevsreef yeah, it was moving so fast i thought it was a pump, but yeah that worked out really nicely.
Happy Father’s Day today Marc
Thanks!
I wonder what kind of shrimps or other little invertebrates live naturally on those gorgonians. Maybe they need their commensal partners?
Maybe, that would be great.
I thought the diamond goby was gonna be food😢
The Randall Goby is doing well.
