the goby/shrimp pair is the candy stripped pistol shrimp with the nematodes.. I like the more delicate look of that species. Although I REALLY want one of those orange fire looking ones! I'm hoping that the way I set up my rocks will help keep the sand away from the LPS on the sandbed-I'm hoping that blocking off 1.5-1.8 feet of the tank and building a barrier-the 1.5 part a DSB, around 4 inches, the barrier being aroun 6 inches, and the other side a shallow sand bed. The barrier created using foam, epoxy, LR, and eggcrate. It'll also be part of the base for my rock pillar using LR and something for a pillar-either PVC or rods, maybe even zip-ties and eggcrate.

I had a green clown goby live through, well, believe it or not, but a mantis tank, then a dwarf lionfish tank, then my 55 reef tank, then the death of my tank last time I had one running. Long time ago, I liked the bugger. I'm up for different types of gobies, thats why I'm asking!

I was thinking of a hector's, but am afraid that it would dine upon the smaller shrimp-some of them don't reach a half inch at maturity, like the red lava shrimp, and the anemone shrimp.

if its still alive, it will hopefully be fine. If you do not see it, do not try to find it. it may be hiding. just LEAVE it alone
