I added a highfin goby and his pistol shrimp pals to my tank two nights ago.he is the only fish in the tank (a nano).
Parameters are standard: no3= 8ppm, po4= .06 ppm, sg= 1.026, temp 79f, alk= 8.5 dkh, ca= 400.
Highfin was drip acclimated from another local reefer's tank. When I added him to the tank he totally freaked, ran into a zoa patch and looked stunned for a few seconds and then disappeared into the rockwork. I turned the lights out so that he could find his happy to place. His shrimp pals have been going to town with their bulldozing and they snap from time to time (I have not seen them) but fishy remains to be seen.
I know these can be shy fish. How long before I should expect to see him?
I fed the tank 24h after adding him but he didn't show up for food.
