Something I haven't seen here yet - my captive bread Link's goby, an amazing little sand sifter!

Gold head goby hard at work keeping the sand clean, and keeping me busy blowing sand off the corals.

The gang is all here!
Can see a lot of my beautiful utility fish in this one shot! Purple tang, hippo tang, tomini tang, blue star leopard wrasse, yellow canary wrasse, and azure damsels. They’re all always working so hard. Unfortunately in this pic they’re all begging for food.

Bumping this!

Late to the party. Almost forgot about the deadline...

My cleaner goby sitting on the mantle of a Derasa clam.

Also not an official entry, as I just recently got this fish from @BristleWormHater and he submitted a photo of it already. My camera has also been acting up lately, and focus-stacking on this shot didn’t work which is why it isn’t super clear. It would have been a really great shot if it had worked

That's an award-winning smile!
