New LTA & Pink-Spotted Shrimp Goby

I picked these up at my LFS the other day, the LTA is huuuge- at least 12 or 13" across when fully open.

LOVE the lta. Hopefully he stays where he is. I think I might even like the coloration on it just as much with the lights off...

To some extent, they sift some sand when creating their homes, but not as much as other kinds of gobies. They're mainly known for pairing with shrimp to create and keep their homes.
