Bug Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 so... got this guy for my birthday in Feb.. I still have no idea what he is but we called him Cyril my parents bought him for me, he was labelled as a "orange dash goby" but after googling.. he has one orange line running down his body, not dots.. so any ID would be nice.. otherwise I'll invent something he eats like a pig and likes rearranging all the sand in my tank especially covering corals AND my tongan fighting conch/stromb snail (which we inventively named elephant ) sorry for the bad photos.. iphone camera Link to comment
