it is known that they will irritate sps for abit.

especially you have pairsa, the damage will be more.

and please dun spear it.

all the best,

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

the goby is known to occasionally nip on sps too

Thanks, Lemon. This goby frequently nips on the mille. If he continues to do it,his days is numbered.

I am thinking of introducing an acro crab to chase it away, but where can i get the crab? More often than not, it comes with the sps.

rgds,

Is your milli movable? If it is, you can slowly move the milli to the water surface and put a net below. The yellow goby will swim downwards to the net.

If the milli can't be moved. Try to chase it to another SPS colony which is movable and use the said method to catch it.

Spearing it seem a bad move as this is a living fish. We make a mistake to buy them and let's try not to kill it if possible.

I used this method previously when i mistakenly bought 1. So far, I do seen people successfully kept the goby in SPS tanks but only if the goby started to feed on frozen or pellets. Else your SPS will be the food unfortunately... :(

pretty easy fish to catch out.. just remove the whole piece of SPS out of the water... it will stay inside the mili... then just shake him out and u got it... tt's wat i do previously...

definately not a reef safe fish.. angels are probably more reef safe and yellow gobies... :D

cheers and safe reefing..
