Two days ago, my debelius molted, and the hipatus just watched this action with curiosity but showed no aggression; your Lёlik is just a bloodthirsty fish!

In the wild, this often happens; if someone becomes vulnerable for one reason or another, finds no way to hide, or doesn't have time to use them, they have to pay for their recklessness with their life. Some fish, like wrasses, bury themselves in the sand at night, enveloping themselves in a transparent mucous membrane cocoon for self-protection against nocturnal predators.

Lyokha honestly didn't understand what the topic was about, but if it's about aggression... My Helmon is finishing off the last Strombusa. A year ago, there were six left; now there's one. Helmon is fixated on it and digs them out of the sand to eat. But since he's been with me for three years and I love the little monster, the Strombuses are secondary. By the way, Helmon eats from my hands. In three years, he hasn't seen any other fish at home.

I created the topic out of curiosity, it surprised me. There was a little Lёlik, then he became a shark, and the little fox was throwing a fit, just like that. I also have a Helman, almost three years old, completely hand-tamed, eats from my hands, passes between my fingers, and is quite large. I've seen bigger ones in larger volumes and older, but why is that? He doesn't touch Strombus, but he tears apart all the worms. I won't even mention aiptasia; it's his delicacy, his eyes pop out from pleasure, he becomes crazy.

I saw a helmet removing the eyes of the strombus when they were sticking out of the sand. The most interesting thing is that the strombus is one-eyed at first, and after a month it grows a new eye, but it's small. After about two months, the eyes become the same size. I observed this in two strombuses, but after what happened, they became very skittish. They immediately hide their eyes in the sand, leaving only the trunk above the sand.

The yellow zebra, seeing the new neighbor (the yellow-tailed one) and tormenting her for a couple of hours, switched to the new vurdemani shrimp, chasing them (pecking with its nose and tossing them up)... a couple of shrimp had already molted (or sat around).
Courtney
The yellow zebra, despite the simultaneous introduction of another one of the same size into a 1200-liter aquarium, killed the stock within a month. This happened despite the numerous hiding spots and the presence of two large amphiprions.

My one has the same outfit. I've never met a fish as curious. It pokes its tweezers everywhere...

I thought she was well-behaved... for now, she seems to have calmed down, but she did inflict a couple of cuts with her spines. However, the yellowtail is happily and cheerfully swimming around the aquarium, without any attempts to hide in the rocks. I prepared a little spot for her in the algae tank for a couple of weeks.
But I've never seen anything like this with shrimp before. 0_o

Some surgeons sometimes do things that are astonishing. I had a Acanthurus coruleus that was cut by a Heniochus on its back like with a razor; the wound was such that I feared it wouldn't survive, but surprisingly, it did.
Sarah
I warned you that the fish has a personality, I warned you...

Today I observed an interesting scene: a shrimp Lysa debelius climbed onto the back of Centropyge bicolor, then Centropyge bicolor rolled onto its side, and the shrimp began to crawl on it and collect something from it. Then Centropyge bicolor rolled onto the other side, and the shrimp started crawling on the second side, and it seemed to me that Centropyge bicolor enjoyed it.

they are cleaning fish, they are shrimp torah

this is exactly the purpose of the lismata
Allison
Damn, my shrimp is scaring the premnas. She treats it like a beloved wife, doing this and that... stroking it with her antennae and circling around it - the fish is persistently scaring her. The fish has a nasty character, even though she is the favorite of everyone. Everyone asks to feed her from their hands. When she swims up and takes the food, the spectators squeal with delight... Yesterday, she turned the pump again and pulled out a bunch of chaetomorpha. Thanks to her, my Ksenia's pulse is now growing "anywhere." The premnas nibbles at her and spits her out at its discretion. A healthy mare has grown up) Say hi to Anatoly from her again)
Kathleen
And I remember how she came, 3 cm in size, covered in cryptom, with a tail almost fallen off. If only she had Lismata then... But there wasn't any...
Whitney
I haven't found any information in the literature about how long premnas live, but I think it's around 10-15 years. My ocellaris has already changed homes twice, and that's 12 years. The fish are very territorial (females), while males are usually "henpecked" and don't engage much in digging, scaring, or rearranging, and they are significantly smaller than females and darker in color. If you are confident that a particular male is indeed male, you can pair him with a female without a mate, carefully observing their behavior. I can say that a similar pairing happened for me recently without any issues. She didn't even think about killing him. But if you pair two large females, one will be guaranteed to...
Robert800
It's the female. A girl. Even better to say - a healthy woman. All the rearrangements, movements, digging trenches, deploying pumps, scaring off, fanatical defense of the anemone, throwing into the shade behind the aquarium - it's all her doing. And she works tirelessly. Stubbornly, systematically, and without question. So finding her a mate is quite a challenge.
Chelsea567
Igor, if you find her a male, she will willingly pair up. There will be no chases, let alone killings. For this, find a small premnas and try to introduce him to her. According to the rules that exist in the family of these fish, the little one will definitely and quite quickly take on the role of a male. However, you still need to watch them closely in this case, as she is currently in a breeding condition...
