Any pictures I can't find any info on them.

Try searching "flaming prawn goby"

There is an amphipod in front of him which is probably too big to eat.

Tiger gobies. They were probably around an inch to an inch and a half when I got them, now one is pushing two and a half inches and the other is about the same. Pretty sure they're going to spawn soon!

FW Bumblebee Goby converted to SW. Never got bigger than 1/2" and was perfect for my 2.5G pico tank.

I don't remember exactly, but it was at least 5 or 6 hours. They came out of a brackish tank at the LFS.

Green clown goby
1581117390562.png

My crazy little clown goby! Cutest fish, who also has 9 lives!! Several years ago, I was fragging a birds nest coral, probably had it out of the water several minutes, saw something move, and it was the clown goby in the coral!! I put him back in the water, where he immediately disappeared...for about a month. Then, several months ago I noticed he was gone again and looked everywhere. One night after the refugium light was on, I was messing in the sump and saw something move. Guess who had gone into the overflow, down the pipe, into the sump, over 2 baffles, and into the middle chamber with the return pump?! I put him back in the tank and he did it again!! I now have a mesh around the overflow to prevent future clown goby escape attempts. He has tons of personality, despite all of his escape attempts and brushes with death! I call him Squiggles because he is always squiggling off somewhere.
