Come to the meeting and I'll hook you up with something other than brown. I believe the green thing is called green star polyp or GSP.
How do you like the Tunze skimmer? Silent? Looks great so far. |

I'm on the planning stage for my future tank. Almost bought 100g tank but decided to wait. I was looking at the above skimmer.

Are you planning on a softie tank or will you be adding sps?
How old is the tank? By the way the tank looks good, keep up the good work |

Cool tank. Your anemone looks nice. I used to have one very similar to that. Your goby looks a little skinny, maybe it's just the angle.
I have only heard good things about the 9010 skimmer. Keep in mind that the ratings downgrade depending on how your tank is stocked, their rating system is explained here: http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewIt...ct~TZ5333.html I have one of the larger Tunze skimmers and it's rated the same way.

Hey it is looking good.
If you want some pink pulsing xeina, and some yellow star polyps... I can bring them to the next meeting. Both of these are beginner softies and are quite hardy.

Better watch out for that "green thing" Green star Polyps, they might grow out of control. |

I have the book called, "Aquarium Corals" by Eric H. Borneman that I purchased from Kalypso Aquatics, and I had been reading all through. I had discovered that Hairy Mushrooms MIGHT catch and eat the wiry fish! That made me wondering if it had caught both gobies? RBTA? I have no foggiest idea...

More likely the anemone than the muchroom... but strainger things have happened.

Sorry to hear about your gobies. My guess is that they died of starvation. In your picture the stomach is borderline pinched, once they get that far along it's hard for them to recover (same goes for any fish). Unfortunately a lot of the sandsifting gobies are this way at the LFS because they don't have a mature sandbed to forage through. Yellow Head Sleeper gobies aka Blue Band gobies are actually one of the tougher ones to care for; if you don't have a LOT of mature sand they need to be fed a few times a day or more.
Here's a pic of a nice healthy one, bad quality picture but look at the big fat stomach.

Now, I can see the difference! Hope that Kalypso Aquatics sell them fat and healthy! Elliot recommended this goby.
