Its approx. 3 to 4 inches dia. when opened fully. Not ready for a FTS yet... planning to do some re-scape already.

I just did a rescape over the weekend. Felt that there were too many rocks, and in the end, I took out 2 huge ones. During the process, I was removing all the corals and fishes, but found my yellow wrasse missing. It was there a moment ago, and it just disappeared in the blink of an eye.

I searched around the tank, afraid that it had jumped out due to stress, but found no body. I combed the sand bed surface lightly, but still no sign of it. Crap, casualty, I thought... I continued with my re-scape, which took hours. This morning, when I was back to work, I saw it happily swimming in the tank!

It was bolder than before, swimming out in the open and exploring the "new" environment. It must have borrowed deep into the sand and waited for everything to settle down. I was quite afraid that the rocks will crush it... Amazing surviving ability!

i once tore down my tank, removed all rocks, and water leaving only the sand bed without water in my tank. i used a net to scoop the sand around but couldn't find it. so nvm, i just pour new water in, continued my rescape and let the tank settle down. the yellow wrasse, though only went waterless for a few minutes, came out the next day swimming happily. this is about 1 year ao when i just started with no corals. i was 100% sure it was dead. but its living status till this day proves their survivability. great fish.

Awesome fellas, ain't it? Bro, how are your Yashias doing? Was it you or someone else that provided tips in differentiating the gender of these gobies?

i have tried around 10 yashas on all occasions in my whole reefing life. sad to say none make it and i have officially given up keeping shrimp gobies. the only 1 surviving is my randall's for few months liao.

i dunno why, maybe my sand not to their liking. i always find them in my sump. but pls by no means should u not attempt this fish. i belive mine is a freak case. i know of many people with success with them and they are not difficult. only problem is in a big tank, feeding them might be a challenge since they are so small.

to differenciate the sexes, i believe bro ambystoma has posted before that the pelvic fins are the key to identifying between males and females. one with a black spot and one without. not sure which is which. i dunno if location plays a part in the pattern of the fins or not too.... should ask some goby expert here to help

[peacemaker]

Woah... that's quite a number... I've tried about 4 myself without success, not feeding on most occasions due to aggressive clownfishes (they are quite the food snatchers). Not going to give up though... keep a lookout for me, will ya? TIA!

lol nice yellow wrasse! these fishes are all vainpots. always like to look at their own reflection

[peacemaker]

Long forgotten corals... these mushies have been with me for more than a year, probably the very first few residents of my second tank. They don't grow, but neither do they die off, very hardy.
