Burring Damsels??

[Ducman996]

I noticed the yesterday that my 3 blue damsels have made little "homes" underneath my LR. It seems that they have removed a great deal of gravel to create little caves under the rock. I see them sleep in there. Has any one ever come upon this before with there damsels? Just wondering if this is normal. I also noticed some thing that looks like worms sticking out of my LR, they seem to have streched to the gravel and sift through it a night. It is amizing how much life there is at night. Everytime I look there is something different. It just keeps getting better.

Mine do the same thing. The also guard their caves during the day, chasing any other fish that should dare enter.

Yes i have noticed that they chase eachother away from their caves. What happends when I add a clown, yellow tang, and a fire Hawk? Are they all going to fight and eventually kill some of the other fish. I ahve a second tank with those above mentioned fish that i would like to intagrate into the one with the damsels.

Damsels are pretty much harmless. They will chase fish that invade their space, but thats about all. I have a Clown, a Royal Gramma, and two Damsels. The Damsels have never injured the other fish, so I don't think you need to worry about it. Enjoy your Damsels! 8)

My two Blue Damsels do it too! Over the past 6 months I have added an Orchid Dottyback, pair of False Percula Clowns, Pink-Spotted Shrimp Goby and Scooter Blenny to my 90 gal. Everyone has done just fine...no injuries! I plan to add a tang, who should be the last fish introduced to the tank! Good luck!
