My favorites to watch in my tank.. Such a funny duo.FedEx sucks. My replacement mounting screws got delayed a day. Hrmph.
But I did pick up a yellow watchman goby and a pistol shrimp. In the acclimation bucket now.
I was also kinda hoping I'd see the emerald crab again. Like maybe it molted and the leg hanging down was just it's old skin. No such luck. I'm guessing it died somehow, and the urchin ate it. Definitely have to try another one of those.
I think they're my favorite so far too. They're not very brave. Still tend to stick close to the burrow. And dive back in if I approach the tank too fast. That snapping sound from the tank startles me every once in a while. Shockingly loud.My favorites to watch in my tank.. Such a funny duo.
you just described mine as well. haha. Its funny whos allowed near the cave doors.. clown and shrimp welcome to hang out out front but anyone else is shoot on site.. and hermits are likely to get dragged in, only to walk out 20 mins later.. and for some reason, Goby has no problem letting certain nassy snails touch him but not others..I think they're my favorite so far too.

I did watch the goby scrare off one of the big nassarius snails that got too close. Mouth all agape. Pretty funny.
Now that I think about it, that might explain why the other three fish are only ever on the other side of the tank. Mr. Grumpy face decided he gets a whole 2ft to himself.you just described mine as well. haha.

It is. Do they usually scare off other fish? My two gobies mostly hide since I added him.Very pretty fish. Tangs are always fun to watch in the tanks.
Fair enough. As with most things reef related, "just wait."I had a yellow in my 75, and she was the one who hid. It took a couple of weeks for my fire fish to come around and be out again. Once the fire fish knew it wasn't in danger, it seemed fine again.
You have the exact same tank I have I think. I have it set up with one of the eshopps sumps and HOB overflow. You should be able to see plumbing set up in the early pages of my build thread for ideas. Happy to share plumbing was rather easy (says someone who never touched PVC before he got addicted to this). Even though a lot of people advised against HOB overflow, I didn't drill the tank in the end either. HOB overflow hasn't lost siphon in 4 years now. (and have set up some redundancy in case it ever does)I think I need to start dosing alk, at least a little. It's dropped 2 points since my last water change. I'm assuming corraline is consuming it. That's the only thing I know of that would be at this point. Thinking kalkwasser would be the way to go at this point.
In the near future I think I'm going to add a sump. Tank isn't/can't be drilled, so HOB overflow it is. Using a standard aquarium and one of the sump kits will probably be the way I go. How big of a nightmare is adding the plumbing to a full tank going to be? If anyone following this has done something similar I'd appreciate any tips.
