Ik!!!! I have no idea what kind of nudi it is! My husband said when he first had an encounter with it those things that spikes up were a brilliant colbolt blue. So it morphs colors....idk a new spieces ?? Haha that would be crazy

Don't touch! [emoji6]

You were right btw its a goby. A frill fin goby. I think its expecting. Maybe? Or just really fat... But this thing changes colors in the blink of an eye!!! From a tan and speckled/ patterned to a pitch black with dark grey spots. Always looks grumpy but does a great job at sifting "its spot" sand in the tank.

I think some nudi change colors to match surroundings and food they eat. That def looks like its going to hurt lol.

Im intrigued to find out if it stings... My husband picked up the rock it was on and took it out of the water.. He touched it when it was outside the water but thats different...it didnt do anything...but in the water...the way that thing spikes up... Hmm idk immitating a sea urchin?

Nope, it's letting you know it means business. [emoji49]. So I'd warn anyone moving things around in there to pay close attention to where you stick a finger, or you may end up at the E.R. I can't identify the type, but I've read that some have a way of injecting a nematocyst that'll make you [emoji21][emoji37][emoji40] and maybe [emoji43]

I have the tanks listed in my signature at the moment. The 20g mixed reef is my pride and joy. The algae's have been troublesome and I'm pretty sure no sump and no skimmer is my problem. The Vibrant has been very effective!

I'm forever jealous of access to marine life in south florida. I miss the place so much lately. [emoji22]

Ew, SHUT UP! Are you secretly living with a biologist or something?

 

[Elementalj]

Last time we were down south, I had this nagging feeling to jump in the water and net up some sergeant majors off the white street pier! But alas, I didn't want a jail sentence. [emoji23]

Is this an urchin species?

 

[Babygecko1233]

That link was crazy @Elementalj

 

[Babygecko1233]

[Babygecko1233]

You can actually eat them...but they are way to cute and actualy resemble as todays modern trilobite

 

[stevo01]

I loved sumerland key so much as a kid. I really miss venture out ;)

 

[Babygecko1233]

Chitons are amazing cleaners...so active and hefty...wont mess with corals...or eat anything other then algae. Fish cant kill them or crabs because of their strong armor
