Mine field paly...

If you want to make a pair, I could still sell you mine. I made a mistake on the torn fin... it was just its tail.

Baby yuma has grown a little...

Nope... just a pair of tweezers... I'd rather keep an effective cleaning crew.

A tiny glimmer of hope... the orange skirting is very intense in colour.

Wow... what did you do to it? Pics?

Back breaking leh... 12 hrs just to rid those algae...

Well... they just keep coming back... I need to start a scrubber real soon...

Haha... I wish you could, but it'll be tough getting past security... Managed to get your firefish?

It was just lying in one of the tanks at the back. I guess no one noticed it. Only sunlight to see its colours.

They are more beige than yellow. Some variations on the faces of the polyps.

Fluffy pillows for this guy...

Well... I bought this instead.

I was there on monday, and I think there are 2 rocks left.

They are doing quite well, except for the tangerines... it does show signs of recovery though... I could see a tiny bit of orange skirting. Definitely not giving up on it. Thanks for your help!

Wow... you really have some knockout zoas... time to pay you a visit~

Rainford goby seems like a cousin of Hector's... From Liveaquaria: The Court Jester Goby, also referred to as the Rainford's Goby, or Old Glory, was first discovered in the Western Pacific in 1940 by Whitely and gets its name from its brightly colored body. The body is green and blue with horizontal orange stripes running the entire length of the body. The Court Jester Goby is very timid and peaceful and is a great addition to the reef or fish only aquarium. It should be kept in a 10 gallon or larger aquarium that is well-established and has live rock and sand on which the fish can graze. It is best to keep only one of this species in an aquarium, unless the tank is large with an abundance of hiding places. It is rarely aggressive towards other species. It is possible for the Court Jester Goby to spawn successfully in an aquarium. The diet should consist of small crustaceans, such as live and frozen brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, as well as filamentous algae.

Oh my... sounds like a fish I should steer clear from... I already have a very shy Yashia goby, which is rather difficult to feed as my percs and firefish are so fast in grabbing food that he is left with crumbs.

Thanks for your input bros! Doesn't sound like an easy fish then... I was hoping it could help a little on the algae.

I once saw it at Ah Beng's, and was tempted to get it, but I wasn't sure what type it was till I came across the above. Are they good algae grazers?

From Liveaquaria: Hector's Goby, also known as Hector's Hover Goby, has a bluish-black body with bright yellow horizontal stripes and an eyespot on the dorsal fin. A 10 gallon or larger aquarium with plenty of hiding places is suitable for this fish. It can be included in a reef aquarium and the fish will sift the sand as well as graze on hair algae. It is non-aggressive towards other fish and will not bother invertebrates in the tank. Hector's Goby is easy to feed and its diet consists of most marine foods. It consumes large amounts of algae, worms, and prepared foods such as vitamin enriched mysis shrimp and brine shrimp.

Bro, what tube combi did you use? Seems like you have quite a bit of white there...

Cute! Bro, how do you keep your cheato so clean? Mine kept trapping dirt...

Nice DIY, bro! Will there be any heat issues causing the acrylic to warp?
