Okay, this requires context. Okay, shame me. The past three or four months I have been busy with life and figuring out what I'm doing after graduation. Well I have been a bad reef keeper, I only payed attention to phosphates and nitrates not calcium or coral nutrition. Now about five months ago my goby went missing figured it was him burrowing, then my dragon soul started dying (it's growing back), then one of my chalices and now another. I'm beating myself up, finally added stuff and I thought I need to feed real food to my fish and tank as a whole. So I go to my in tank refugium, it's about half a foot long. So I go in and harvest some algae, so I was looking at what I should take, took out a big block and then I see something move, it was the goby! He's been in there for months and I'm not going to lie his coloration is better than ever! Bit less chubby but he is still in great shape (he was a bit over weight)
how did this happen? how did he make it this whole time?
 
They can be supplement with various kinds of algae along with meaty foods.
This would explain his weight loss too.

Great thank you, I tried to feed him some pellets but he wasn't very happy or interested, I'll try some meat tomorrow
