I worked so hard on my aqua scaping, and for the longest time my Ocellaris clowns, who are now nearly 2 years old, completely ignored it. They hovered over it, hosted in the powerhead, etc. I added a firefish goby a few days ago and they seemed to notice that it liked going into all the little nooks and crannies (that I worked hard to make). Not even 30 minutes later they're also now exploring every little crevice, swimming through the caves, etc.

Just an interesting observation from my side, how they seemed to pick up on what other fish were doing.

I've never experienced this personally, but I wouldn't be surprised! Maybe they feared the dark cave, but if the little firefish could brave it, so could they. :face-with-tears-of-joy:
