Why does goby hate new coral?

[Cajunmillerboy]

My watchman goby has t cover every new frag I put on the sand. Why does he keep doing this and how can I get him to stop?
Thanks

You can't. That is what they do. All you can do is move the frag up out of the sand.

LOL He's just a goby being a goby. That's the love/hate line with them. They covere evrything in sand...better move your coral higher up.

Add a Pistol Shrimp, and the devastation is epic!

High flow or random flow. Daily blow off the sand with a baster. It's a good excuse to check ur corals closely daily.
