Dark blue clown goby?

[Stacef]

I just got a clown goby and it's very dark blue. I have researched clown gobies, so no one jump on me for that, but have not seen dark blue ones.

Anyone have any info/links on them? I can't seem to find any, or I'm just internet impaired today..

It is probably a variant of a black glown goby. I have never seen a clown goby described as Blue (individual species or color form). But I have seen black clown gobies that were more charcoal grey or blue than black.
IMO this is what you have.

Well Stace do you have picts? I would love to see it. Why should we ask huh?? LOL

The owner of Fraggle Reef had a light blue clown goby over a year ago...I don't know if he still has it or not but it was awesome. If I ever find one of those I will be one happy person.

I figured that might be the answer--that he's a black one. I will take pics in a few, he's SMALL so can't really zoom in. He's perching on the GSP's right now. He has plenty of those to play in! Got him for only $6,

Thank you all for the help!

Sounds like a good deal!! Can wait to see the picts!!

I want one.

I can't seem to find him, I'm sure he's just very nervous, he's very small, about the size of my chromis. I have absolutely so worries of anything eating him, just waiting for him to get comfortable enough to come out and say HI! My lawnmower blenny stayed hidden for about 3 days, so we will wait a few more before I start worrying..

If he is the size of a chromis he is much bigger than any of my clown gobies. My yellows are itty bitty and the citron is still very small.
I can't wait to see a pic of this fellow.

 

[Stacef]

My chromis are small, no bigger than I would say an inch. So he's a small guy, if yours are much smaller I bet they are ADORABLE!

oooo i cant wait to see

 

[Stacef]

Thanks for all of the help guys, the camera is sitting right next to the tank, and I check in like every 10 minutes to see if he is showing his face yet!

 

[sambrinar]

A watched pot theory... as soon as you turn your back.... LOL

 

[Stacef]

Still MIA

Still waiting, for any signs of him!

 

[Stacef]

It was too good to be true... He didn't make it. Don't know what happened to him. He was VERY very small. I have a few pics, they didnt turn out like I'd like them to. And actually I stopped taking them (during acclimating) and said to myself, I'll get more once he's in the tank.

I really wish I knew what was the matter, he was VERY unique, was definately a dark blue instead of black.

So for now, that proved to me to just let the tank be. No more adding anymore fish, only corals

Awe Stace I am sorry, but I would love to see the picts

That bites. Still would like to see the pics.

I will dig them out today, they were turning out VERY fuzzy so I didn't post them, I will have to find them in my mess of files!
