Sorry for the delay in replying... Do you mean my profile pic? If so it's a Flaming Prawn goby (Discordipinna griessingeri).

I only have 3 Halloween crabs that have figured out how to survive a 12 wrasse display. I dumped 20 blue legs in the other week and counted 16 cracked shells by noon the following day, what a crap show.

If someone knows of a good crab that has better survival skill/chances please let me know. I'm not too worried about corals being picked at either if that helps ;)
find something with a hard shell - I have trochus snails bypassing my dangerous to CUC wrasses aka the green beast, Halichoeres chloropterus.
I dont think I have a lazy fish... shocking when I own around 18 in total. You'd think one of them was lazy but nope! Wonder if i'd get away with calling my deresa clam lazy... I mean, I havent fed it yet so i can't really say if it is lazy or not. Even my griessinger goby will work for a small piece of mysis. I'll keep an eye on everyone today then come back with an answer, for now I cant think of anyone though.

This is hilarious!! A fish who thinks he's entitled to be lazy. Aaah to have a fish's life (in this case a smushed fox face) with an all you can eat nori and shrimp bar at his disposal!! :)
Indeed, for clarity I have just put a fish box trap in this evening. He may find somebody else’s tank is not quite so accommodating

My bi-color Blenny just spends all day perching waiting for me to put food in the tank lol. I know these guys are suppose to eat and help maintain algae but I feel like Blenny Bruce just perches all day and sleeps lol. Sometimes he will tweak out and rapidly swim around the tank munching algae as fast as he can then parallel park back into his perch. He got the name Bruce because he spends all on rock cliffs like Batman then spazzes out and beats the hell out of my rock . Waldo looks like a champion.
Same here! I have a chunky bicolor who is the same way, lol.
