You have an engineer goby! They are awesome. I like them because they are very eel like without being an eel.
I want to see her or him

They are very cool fish. All the hurricanes basically shut down the Gulf most of the fall. They just received 700 rfas.

Good morning. Would love to see that gold rimmed rfa under blue

Looks like a bleached bta. Luckily the tents have color, so with time and stability it should recover.

Better than this mess of a bta that moved itself into full blast light, decided it didn't approve, and instead of ever moving again has shrunk up like this and lived this way for 5+ months.

Thats crazy. Any way to rotate the rock so its not in the full light. . They are strange creatures at times

 

[fishguy242]

or a small shelf piece of rock to stop all light ,see if it moves

Nope. Not doing it. She made this decision and is perfectly capable of rectifying it on her own. My clowns completely ignored her when she was fluffy and happy and if there weren't so many deep crevices I'd pull her out and take her to the LFS (I tried that about 2 months in).

Thats very true

 

[danieyella]

Thats very true

I may or may not be a bit stubborn about this brat lol I fought a LONG battle a couple of months in trying to get it to budge one way or another, I tried every method I could find on here to get them to relocate or release, nothing worked. I can't believe it's still alive there to be honest...

some random assorted blastos

 

[danieyella]

acans do NOT like my big tank. haven't figured out what it is yet, i'm not sure if i have a fish that picks at them or what....

@NY_Caveman is taking to long lol.

Try this.

Piece of clean sponge with a hole cut in it.
Piece of pvc slightly larger that the nem
Place piece of sponge where the nem is the hole
Place small piece of pvc over nem, but on sponge. The sponge fills the gaps as the pipe can’t contour to the rocks.
Use zip ties or string to hold pipe to rocks/sponge.
Most nems will crawl up in a day or 2.

That has been what works best for my crazy splitting btas.
