I had a request for a xenia, and I got a few to come off the rocks easily, so I have a few to give away. I actually had one monster one (the second largest in our tank) come off the rock -- I think my sand sifting goby had dumped so much sand on it that it built up at the base, and it was mostly holding onto sand, not rock.

I will be around tonight anyway (someone else is stopping by), so what I'm hoping is that someone will want to stop by tonight between about now and 9 and get some. Otherwise, we can see, but I'l probably take most of it to the LFS in a day or two (waiting around for 5 different people can be a pain).

Anyway, this is plain old pulsing xenia, no special color, I'll attach a picture of my tank below. A warning: some of it has a little pink algae on it, you might want to be sure to remove that before you put it in your tank. We're currently having a bit of a problem with the stuff in our tank.

Email me (bclee at umich dot edu) if you're interested and I'll send directions. We're in Fremont very close to the BART station, not far from Fremont and Mowry.

Whats that fish above the yellow tang? I've never seen one of those before.

This is a slightly better (and newer) picture of the goby. I've seen them called "Dragon Goby" at Atlantis (where we got him) and Aquarium Concepts. He looks a lot like a banded goby (amblygobius phalaena) as far as I can tell, but with more color -- he has red and blue spots, especially on his head.

Hmmm, except the color in that picture is terrible.
