    A Yellow Watchman Goby! I was depressed today so hubby took me to the LFS where I get everything fish from. Didn't think they were open but they were. I marched back to the fish area and looked at their tanks (everything is always so clear and healthy! He even has a HUGE clown in a coral tank who isn't for sale) Well, I looked in the first tank then onto the second when my heart STOPPED. I had to look at the list and it was A YELLOW WATCHMAN GOBY. I know they aren't rare by any means but OMG I wanted one in the worst way. SO I got him ;D He was the only one there so it was meant to be!!!! One of my best friends named him Gman. Pics will come later :sweethear

    How big is the little guy? Yellow watchmens are a cool little fish.

    Also, the lfs near my house also has a big clown. A full size maroon in an anemone in his own tank. Whenever you go by the tank he kinda jolts forward a few inches out of the anemone and then slowly backs in as a tough guy warning I guess - which might be why he's alone lol.

    He is two inches long roughly. :)

    She is an OC clown. Her mate jumped out of the tank so they put one in there with her that looked like her old one. They are getting along now. She is BOLD :)

    He is a great one :) He is getting more interested in this hobby. He told me once we move we are getting a 500 gal! Not sure if I want one that big but he if wants it then I'm not going to complain ;D

    Yellow watchman gobies are amazing fish. The only complaint I have is whenever I walk near the tank, he darts back in his cave. They're so full of personality. :D And a great addition to any SW tank. :) Don't be surprised if you cant find him for awhile.

    The tank is perpendicular to the couch so I can watch my tank alll dayy long. I love watching it while if I fall asleep for a nap.

    Ya, he is in hiding now :p
