sorry to say the Royal gramma died on us last week..

he got caught up against the powerhead at the back of tank and drown..

so tonight I grabbed the fish I really wanted
a six line wrasse...

I might get 1 more for the tank one day but for now this is the last for me as of now..

here is a pic

just posting some new pics of my tank ..pistol shrimp and goby hard at work..until trouble came along..

scan heavy...

I like how the gobies eyes are glowing in his cave when the banded shrimp came over....lol

 

[Dentoid]

Cool! Love the pairing! When the shrimp is out of the burrow it has one of its antenna on the goby at all times. The goby is constantly twitching and communicating with the shrimp to alert it of safety or danger. Neat symbiosis! Also, an interesting fact, the shrimp will eat the goby if it ever becomes weak or ill.

I found your chronicles after I hitch hiked on your thread about the Koralia power heads. Nice diary. How hard is it to get a goby and shrimp to pair. I have a goby just like yours (at least it looks like it.) I have had my tank for just over 2 years, he has been in it from the beginning and has his area staked out.

Great photos!

Clint, I may have told you this already, but the Dec '07-Jan '08 issue of Coral magazine is devoted to the Goby/Pistol association. Several articles from top scientists in the hobby about them. If you get a chance to pick it up, do so.

 

[slysock]

hey new to the reef. did you set that cave up for your watchman, or did he make it himself?

 

[Dentoid]

Actually the burrow is excavated by the shrimp then the goby moves in with the shrimp.

nice, so many pics i love it i love that found their there home right out in front, kind like their own little island.

 

[tbittner]

Great pics! You're lucky to have a cool pairing like that.
