| Fire Coral  | coral gobies I have had a coral/clown goby for probably 4 weeks or so and I have never seen it eat. I think it looks like it is getting skinnier. I feed a frozen reef food and the only things he is competing with are two small engineers and a 6 lined wrasse. does anybody keep these fish. do they normally swim to the food and eat in front of you? Is there a particular food they like? i just thought they were carnivorous and would eat carnivore food. thanks

| Fire Coral  | Re: coral gobies I have had one for about a month and never saw him eat either. I went back to the lfs and told him that and he promptly pulled out some frozen mysis (Piscine Engergetics) brand and the ones it the store went nuts for it. I bought some and tried it and my citron gobie went crazy for it too.....and here I thought mysis was mysis but apparently not......
