Have you ever noticed how they can change colour if their frightened or especially at night time.

Mine can go from the stunning vibrant colours to like a grey/brown colour

Mine I think is a slightly different variation as he isnt ‘striped’ like yours its more sold grey on the top of the back and has a yellow tail fin. Maybe it’s a different sex.

Great picture anyway

This is the best thread on R2R for pics. Simon has it down. That clown goby is so cute.

I love it too!
Mine is pretty awesome too. He has been getting bitten by our starry blenny though. New kiss marks every couple days.

I'm a sucker for the little guys with attitude. It always makes me laugh when they pull up in a big loud truck. Oh wait... nevermind... The fish...

I bought this frag yesterday because of what it has hitch hiking on it, ... just placed it about half an inch out of where I can see the tunicate, go me! :rolleyes:

I love this coral, I have made a few "sketchy" fish introductions, the last time it was chewed was at my lfs when they were looking after it, lemon peel went for it in my tank as far as I remember, Aip file fish went for it in their display, I do think about things and would never knowingly put it in harms way! :)

Lfs trip tomorrow early afternoon, I have two fish on order! :)

me too.... the trip part....not the fish part.
replacing the media in the sump in an attempt to fix the high aluminum issue.

As the French say, it goes except they say it in French, it's like it is simmering again, it's like it is in a constant state of flux due to the engineer goby.
I am not adding much as I need to see what will tolerate it, ho hum! ;)

I love how different your tank looks. It reminds me of 15 years ago when halides would be on in the middle of the day, but you have strategically placed contrasting color in the right spots.

Any idea where the aluminium came from?

I have a pair of T5s out so only 3 of 4 pairs working, not a fan of the blue look, what you see is pretty much what I see during "daylight" hours. :)

so you're familiar with my DIY scape. I had to use something to replace the "no live/dry rock" plan. I went with MarinePure Bio blocks, sold by BRS so I figured it was all good. testing shows they leech aluminum. I have 5 of their 8"x8"x4" blocks in my sump.
going to replace them with a couple of 4 liter buckets of SeaChem Matrix.
