I added this fish to my tank about a year ago. Haven't seen it (til a few days ago) since the day I put it in the tank. I have no idea what it is other than goby. It looks a bit like a clown goby, and it lives upside down- I spotted it darting out for food, and even when it swims it's upside down. This picture has been rotated 180 degrees to make it easier to look at. Now that I know where he hangs out I see him all the time. It's only about an inch long by the way.

Wow, Greg!

Absolutely gorgeous shots. I'm very partial to rose bta's and yours is quite spectacular.
Good luck with your new additions!

I think my clownfish would love to claim that rose all for her self.., that crab wouldn't stand a chance.

Thanks you guys. That is one scary looking Skunk Gene!

Nah, she's a mush compared to my A.clarkii that resides in the anemone tank. Now that one I wouldn't trust at all with my fingers or back of the arm, she loves the tender part of human skin...

Thanks for the id Kinetic. Maybe the one in their picture is a female?

Kinetic · 12/08/2006, 06:25 PM

maybe, but it's got to be a very close relative or something at least

gregr · 12/08/2006, 06:29 PM

lol- I think it's the same fish but the one in my tank has that high-ish fin so I think maybe it's a male.

If anything, this fish reminds me of this particular goby.

Awesome pics Melev...and all the other fresh ones above. I love your collection of rics you have there. What kind of shrimp is that in the pic above....it's amazing the patterns it has.

Adam, those are pictures from the Tank Tour our club had on Saturday. None of those are from my tank.

That is a Peppermint Shrimp for the Gulf Coast (near Galveston, Tx), and it is carrying a bunch of babies (the green portion under her belly).

Wow...awesome pics. The first coral is simply amazing (to me at least

). I think that you need to title the middle three "feeding time" for sure. I get a really good feeding response out of my candy canes but never anything like that. Great captures...

Brisc0 · 12/19/2006, 03:32 PM

My buddies green digi w/ green clown goby

This one is washed out but it cracks me up. Pink skunk in my anemonarium obviously not happy with me.
