Mr. Microscope Posted June 13, 2010 Author Share Posted June 13, 2010 i dont think okinawa can last that long!!! I feed him Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I have someone that's going to feed him on Monday and I'll be back Wednesday. Thanks for your concern though. Link to comment

The zoas are great, I cant wait to see a huge garden And your goby is so afreakindorable makes me want one again... Thanks! I hope the garden grows fast. Yeah, the goby is really cute. He's starting to get bolder, but has a "safety spot" by the Koralia that he goes to when he gets scared (which doesn't take much). Usually it's just because he got too far away from it. He goes, "yikes! I'm out too far. Eeep!" Link to comment

Mr. Microscope Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 R.I.P. Gobiodon 2010.05.15 - 2010.06.13Beloved Fish and Destroyer of Cities Yes, I'm sorry to say that Gobiodon went desk surfing this weekend. When my boss went to feed him on Monday, he looked like the little dried fish snacks that they sell in Chinatown. Oh well, gonna give it a rest on fish for a little while and try to keep my Nassarius alive. Here's the last image and movie I got of the little guy...sigh... You will be missed Gobiodon.

.Newman. Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 dont you have your tank covered by now? Try to get a cover if youre going to hold any livestock that are physically able to crawl out or jump out of your tank. I learned this lesson from reading El Fab's threads. his green clown goby suffered the same fate. Sorry for the loss man get a cover and then you can get a fish safely. Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Here's something I noticed today. In my last post, I mentioned about how fast my feather duster has been growing lately. Check it out. This is only 5 days growth! Probably due to feeding the tank now. Link to comment
badfish816 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 dude!! i just came home today to find my antenna goby on the floor. i couldn't find him in the tank and the only hole was a 2" by 2" square hole in the back left that i couldnt cover with the piece of glass i was using due to the filter tube. so i checked on the ground and found him curled up in one of my hats. sux man. i feel your pain.

meganistkrieg Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Oh no, Gobiodon! I have to admit I lol'd a little when you described the dried fish snacks in Chinatown, but then it's not exactly how I'd like to see a pet. Best to you and fond thoughts to Gobiodon on his fishy journey onward. (want another porcelain crab? if I ever catch her roughing up my mithrax again she'll need a new home... ) Link to comment

Mr. Microscope Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 (want another porcelain crab? if I ever catch her roughing up my mithrax again she'll need a new home... ) I'll consider it. It's crazy that the porcelain was picking on the mithrax. I'd think it was the other way around. I thought they only used their claws for defense. I'm thinking about getting a small colony of micro porcelain crabs from reefkeepers.com. I'm not sure how they'd get along. But, I'll let you know. Got any more coral you want to trade?

Got any more coral you want to trade? I'm not sure exactly what happened, but I saw a flurry of movement and she had him by the claw and he was quickly trying to backpeddle. I waved my tweezers at them until they broke it up and went to their separate corners - haven't seen any evidence of roughhousing since. I had understood porcelains to be pretty placid but maybe the fact that she's twice his size had something to do with it. Hopefully they'll stay cool but I'll let you know if they go all Sharks & Jets on me again. Micro porcelain crabs?? That sounds awesome! And no, no more corals yet - letting things grow in a bit as they are. Unless you want some giant green-brown actinodiscus mushrooms, I've got those in spades. Link to comment

They're all good learning experiences, especially the failures. I'm definitely sticking with it. I'm just not sure if I can handle a 4th sig image change, should it ever come to that. Maybe you should prominently feature your sandbed or liverock as the character in the next sig Ooh, or your chaeto. That's not going anywhere :lol: Link to comment
straydog Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 The bumble bee shrimp would bee a nice adition with porcelinsam they are really small but in your tank you should see them all the time , they never bother the corals and will scavange 4 left over food. I think they are verry entertaning. Link to comment
molsen187 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 sorry for your loss. i think sexy shrimp would b perfect there is no way they are going to jump out. if you are handy you could always make one of the mesh screen tops. they are fairly simple and will save you a ton in fish jumping.
