Yellow clown goby

Cool glad to know this s normal. It doesn't compete for food much so do I need to hand feed, or does it usually eat the left overs?

 

[iDream]

If you can try to target feed it (try to feed it specifically, I don't think you'd get that much luck with your hand) because they are known to be finicky eaters at times

 

[Chris182]

Cool. I currently have flakes and frozen shrimp. Is this good enough for gobies?

 

[iDream]

Yeah for this one it is. Occasionally try the frozen if you see him not eating the flake

 

[Chris182]

He doesn't eat the flakes, only when I add frozen does he eat

 

[iDream]

How often is that?

 

[Chris182]

Once every 2 days. I add one or two Marine pellets as well

 

[iDream]

Sounds like a good feeding schedule

 

[Chris182]

A pic of my peppermint shrimp. He finally come out for a pic

 

[Chris182]

Few new corals. Rearranged rock work a little as well. Also you will see the little pistol shrimp I have in my tank! Came with the green star polyp

 

[iDream]

Awesome zoas man! This tank is turning out well

 

[Chris182]

Thanks buddy. Picked them up today. Was gonna grab another fish but decided against it last minute. Gonna give the tank a little time to settle now before buying more corals or fish

 

[iDream]

I think 1 more fish would be the most, maybe a watchman goby for your pistol shrimp to pair with?

 

[Chris182]

That's I what was thinking, though I would also like a Blenny so I'll have to have a think about that

 

[iDream]

That would be a great addition as well, I love my Starry Blenny. Great colors and a ton of personality

 

[Chris182]

Yeah I liked the star blenny but I think my fav was the bicolor benny. Not sure if I
Want one of those, or another goby for the pistol. Do you know if gobies fight with each other?

 

[Chris182]

Hey guys. Does this toadstool look in good condition? I bought it 6 days ago and all was fine. Now it doesn't appear to open up at all. Would there be any reason for this? I'm wondering if the shrimp are keeping it in as they are always climbing on it. I have also noticed my substrate is turning red in places. What is this and could it be causing the toadstool to not come out?

 

[iDream]

It may be sloughing, but since its only been in a few days give it some more time.

 

[Chris182]

What does that mean buddy?

Test results today are:

Phos 0.5
Nitrate 40
Nitrite 0.25
Ammonia 0
Mag 1260
Cal 440

Phos isn't going down despite having a phos remover in the filter? Don't know how to get rid?
