    Oh good! So even if it is in the back it will most likely change pretty frequently! Good to know.

    I wonder if the goby feeds the shrimp like clowns feed their anemones. That would be cute!

    Glad you caught the tang.... that's just too small of a tank to satisfy their needs. Please keep us posted and how about some pics?

    I had a couple peppermint shrimp that disappeared (probably the pistol) but not positive as I have a coral banded that was in there before I added the pistol shrimp and they don't bother each other.

    I have the tiger pistol which is is maybe 1" or 1.5" at most. Mine will not grow much larger.

    Yeah? They're pretty cool.

    He was clicking away a second ago at a hermit that wandered too close.

    Good news: YWG is aliveeeeeeeeeeee!! I fed the tank (which I should have done in the first place!!) and out he came munching right away. I'm so happy that he made it through the night. I don't know why but I just had this feeling that maybe he was too small or weak. Muahahahahaha! Yessssss!

    Gosh I feel like a n00b! I think it's because I have wanted THIS fish since I began my tank but I waited and waited and now I finally have one :D:D
