Just as a small note, the walking “dendro” is probably the easiest coral I have in my little 10 gallon AIO. Both it and the worm have thrived throughout my bumbling newbie mistakes - the thing just never missed a beat even when the torches, alvioporas, zoas and various others looked crappy. It’s still slowly moving around the tank, with tentacles fully extended. I don’t intentionally feed it anything but it is by far the most active feeder of any corals in the tank when it snags a piece of flake or mysis that floats by. Highly recommended, I just wish they came in more colours!
I've been hunting for a lil yasha goby ever since my watchman passed away, my pistol shrimp has gone on a tunnelling rampage! (And pom pom crabs really should come out to dance for the camera more, I love my little guy. I was so lucky to get him on video!)
I left YT on my office computer overnight and walked into it autoplaying this video on fullscreen... Funny thing is, with no title or anything i KNEW it was tidal gardens because of the way it was shot and had myself a laugh. Amazing camera work!
Boxer crab, or pompom crab as it's called where I'm at is great for nano tanks! Gotta set up the scape so the caves are still visible, but I love watching mine wave it's poms around
had a Sexy shrimp for the past few years and has always stayed/made a home in a small cave in my live rock, bought a bubbletip anenome a few weeks back and today saw the sexy shrimp hovering around the Anenome! finally he's moved home.
great vid Than ! thanks as always for sharing your knowledge . like always watching your vids like these make me want some new stuff in the hobby every time ;) haha tanks again and waiting on the next one
Great video Than, I have a 20 gallon that has a bonded pair of yasha gobies that are paired with a bonded pair of pistol shrimps on one side of the tank. And on the other side there is a bonded pair of Dracula Gobies that are paired with a bonded pair of pistol shrimps. I've never had an issue with them and they seem really happy. The picture has been on BRS. but I could show you one if you'd like to see it.
Great Video Than! However, I don't know if paguritta crabs or the Christmas tree worms are symbiotic. What benefit does the coral get for hosting them? If anything, I would say they are almost parasitic... but nonetheless, the harm is negligible and is why I think they are very interesting and beautiful creatures.
I know a few symbiotic relationships in this hobby, but I never knew about sexy shrimp and mini carpets going together. May get some sexy shrimp for my mini carpets
I've been trying to hunt down a source for Paggurita hermits but i cant really seem to find anything. is it just a luck of the draw sort of thing and you just may end up with some?
As always, great video Than. I do have a question...Do you know of a beneficial relationship, if any, between an acro crab and acropora coral? I'm 6 months into this hobby and already have 1 of these crabs and doesn't seem to leave the coral. Thanks in advance.
There is something there, but I don't know exactly. The crabs can't survive long outside an Acro colony that's for sure. I wonder if they clean the coral and provide nutrition.
Hey, i might be a bit too late for this but the mother crab kinda "shapes" the coral in a crown or a cell like shape to hide and protect itself and the eggs but then the mother dies later since she is unable to come out of that cage she made from the coral
Anyone can chime in. I have hit hikers in my tank. I am undecided on whether they are good, bad, or indifferent. Let me describe them as best as I can. They are circular, pink or pinkish red in color, about the size of a dime when I first see them but grow to maybe the size of a quarter. They have, I guess you would call them tentacles ( or woodly woodlies), with tiny white balls on their tips. They seem to prefer the underside of rocks, have grown fairly quickly, and fluoresce. They “may” bother my Xenia, I had a huge, and sudden die off after a year of totally happy Xenia. Thanks to anyone who has an idea. I will take a sample to my fish shop after Christmas if I can’t get an answer.
clingfish and urchin I also have one of those little crabs I got him in a xmas tree rock have had him fo a long time now , there is also a weird little shrimp that lives in the rock I cant identify him though
The spinning nem blew my mind!

Make more symbiotic relationship videos! Love this one
Those holes with hermit crabs... gave me the chills. 😱
Ah yes...here is where the trypophobes are. I was wondering where you guys were lurking after this video. (My son has Trypophobia bad. Lol)
Not sure what my favorite is... however my least favorite is the IRS and my Paycheck!
least fav
Ya that is a parasitic, not symbiotic relationship. Here in Canada CRA=IRS
How deep of a sand bed do you recommend?
Love it. Thank you for sharing, my favorite from your list is probably the hermits!
They are pretty cool. I think the key to keeping those is regular rotifer feedings.

Watching your videos and listening to your voice is soooo relaxing. 🐠🐡✝️
Glad you enjoy it!
Beautifully filmed video. Excellent editing. Great footage. Thank you for sharing! Very educational and interesting!
Top quality information and photography as always

I appreciate the auto-play :)
The creations of the lord are amazing to say the least

I had only seen watcher Goby pair with pistol shrimp before but you're right these two do look great together with those matching red stripes!
i like the video! but i find that the background music is a little bit too loud.
Thanks I'll try to boost my voice more next time around.
Outstanding video Tranh!
Your videos (and voice!) - simply amazing. A huge help to all reefers
the camera quality is amazing!!!!!!!
I have 3 out 5 you mentioned :D Symbiotic Relationships are just too cool to now have in ones tank! Also, awesome video like always Than
Awesome vid! So cool how those critters bind together. Another red and white fish (with yellow fins) is the Ruby Red Dragonet.
that little hermit crab was having a feast on that snail
great video. thanks for showing it off. great to see the symbiotic relationship between them
had a Sexy shrimp for the past few years and has always stayed/made a home in a small cave in my live rock, bought a bubbletip anenome a few weeks back and today saw the sexy shrimp hovering around the Anenome! finally he's moved home.
My favorite symbiotic relationship is between you and the tank!😂
I plan on a Christmas Tree worm rock and a Shrimp, Goby combo in my upcoming reef build! Beyond excited!!
great vid Than ! thanks as always for sharing your knowledge . like always watching your vids like these make me want some new stuff in the hobby every time ;) haha tanks again and waiting on the next one
wow! those hermit crabs are amazing!!! it would be amazing to have a colony or two of them in a tank! my fave symbiotic relationship yet
Love those xmas tree rocks/corals! So hard to get/find though.
Awesome vid!
Great video! Love the quality and good info too.
The last one was my favorite! Now I'm going to see if they are compatible with my tank
This was a brilliant video indeed you explained it perfectly 🤗🤗
Thanks!
very cool spin!!!

May I suggest also talking about sea sponges and how to care for them?
Very cool. Like to try all but don't know where to collect them in Taiwan ;-)Thanks for sharing
Great videos like always bro!

Nice.
Oh man, I need to find somewhere that sells those paguritta crabs. Those things look super cute.
Lmao!!!! And his EQUALLY reckless friend.... 👌🏻😂😂😂👌🏻
For the spinning anemone alone I had to click & make myself the 1k like, and subscribe! Yu da man!
This is really beautiful, I love it. What about the coral and the zooxanthellae themselves? It isn't odd-ball though, I suppose. Nice work 👍
That's a good point. The corals themselves are a symbiotic relationship. Almost all coral anyway.
does your website well the small yellow crabs? if not, where did you find them? I love your videos!
Can't hear you over the music
Great video!

Awesome
wait what was that in 1:24 ? can you buy them?
If my yellow tang (juvenile) stays close to the my dotty back like it was its parent, what would that be considered?
do you sell the hermit crabs that live in the corals??
clingfish and urchin
I also have one of those little crabs I got him in a xmas tree rock have had him fo
a long time now , there is also a weird little shrimp that lives in the rock I cant identify him though
Waaaaaay cool!
I have one of those fan thing on my astrea snail at 4:17
feather duster worms are also called crhistmas tree worms probably a perfect cristmas present
how that anemones spinning?
Ive got those blue feather dusters in my acan
4:26 that just looks like a colourful aiptasia
I've got a yellow watchman goby pairs up with my blood shrimp
Mine is definitely the Christmas tree worm
meanwhile my clowns don't care about my anemone. now he's basically a dramatic coral on wheels
Captive raised clownfish are hit or miss on how they will interact with anemones, but they might host in something random
@@tidalgardens they host the back wall of my tank lmao
I have a pair partners too with a pistol shrimp an aurora gobie , they become one
is it true pistol shrimp can break glass ? really like them but that's putting me off
I don't think so. I've heard mantis maybe, but not so much pistol.
Tidal Gardens Inc. thanks for getting back to me great channel love the vids
Pom Pom crabs are pretty cool, but I don't think the anemone they hold benefit from the crab.
iv red that pistol shrimps make alot of sound at night. thts true?
Yep can hear them a lot. Also at day.
nanoaquamania yep. I always hear mine snapping when the lights go out
I have a yasha shrimp pair but they won’t pair
I love crinoids a crinoid squat lobsters!
But crinoids are super difficult and I cant keep them alive... but I can keep the squat lobster alive!
Where do I get those crabs
Do you ever look for people to mentor, and or work for you?
Sometimes we have unpaid interns (well they get corals so not 100% unpaid). Full-time openings are scarce.
The last one
Love love love sexy shrimp!! I had 8 till my filefish ate them all.
I like my porcelain crab and my rbta
love your videos but the back ground music is a tad to loud
no such thin gas frienx or relationx or not, relatix anynmw
there should be a mandarin goby challenge \
Wtf is that floating spinning anemone
Nvm haha
So the pistol shrimp was da nigga
dont forget the shirimp that is in a symbiosis with a goby
I really dislike music when people is talking. Not sure why people do this. Ruins the whole video for me
P
Oh no sexies will eat sps DEF. Happened to me.
great video I added 2 favorites
