ok i have 2 green banded gobby and they are really small like an inch. i want to add a yellow assesor are they aggresive with gobbies or just with their own species? i was thinking of getting it and later moving it to the 20g upgrade imma make
It should be ok. Non aggressive and grors to 3 to 5 inches or so Here's more detail on them Fish Profile: Yellow Assessor, Assessor flavissimus by Jessica Gadling - Reefkeeping.com

Thanks
today i got all the wood i need imma build a stand 36 x 14 ( the 20L is 30 inches so i want 6 extra so i can have some space to put stuff like tweezers or tests.)
and on a major note constructions is beginning in my house so had top move the tank to another room. i know its small and easy but leaving all the corals without water got me nervous thanks god i managed to move evrything and fill it withing 10 minutes. No casualties, BUt ( there always is a but ) my gobbies seemed to get really stressed and know they have small white bumps like ich. they had that before when i stirred all the crused coral to clean it seems to go away after they get comfortable again.
Any idea what kind of flatworms soutzee .... do you have a close up pic ... and on the Gobies ... are the spots gone or are they still there ? Could it be ick ?
And when you move the corals to the 20, are you going to dip them to make sure you do not transfer whatever flatworms they were ... I am not sure whether they are small or large as you did not mention that and maybe they are not the nasty kind but just plain small ones that you can siphon out and get rid off by dipping ... etc... Just wondering about those questions ... let me know will you ... tks

the flatworms so far havent sticked to any corals they are only on the rocks and floor. tehy are red and small. the gobbies the sport were gon eand never came back but unfortunaterly the two i had one jumped and the other jumped the day after. RIP! so sad. and yes when i move to the 20 ill dip everything in flatworm exit and revive just in case. i dont think i can get rid by siphoning and dipping they grow quickly in number iolll just get rid of them when i dipp everything before transferin to the new 20
Check this and if you do not see them then they are planaria which do not harm but as you say multiply rapidly and when large numbers sit on a coral they shield the light and can affect it by overcrowding the coral and preventing it from getting enough light ....

Well glad you figured out which ones ... now you just have to either get them out of the existing tank or make sure you do not mov any to the new tank or they will start to multiply again.
No Sir needed .. was just trying to point out that when you transfer corals you may also transfer the bugs so dipping and carefully inspecting is really important but I am sure you realize that ... Thanks
