I have been trying to get a pic of the bcg since I got it, it owns the pavona and is a right little fidget!

How many CG can you possibly have?! My GCG will not have to deal with the future YCG in the small tank...but a BCG...sooooooo many little clown gobies, and I love them all!! ;Joyful

I didn't know about the yellow one! It was such a cute little fish. I'm sorry. I hope you get another one soon.

I think it was partially bullying by the green one so I don't think I will get another.

If I think about things long enough I can usually work out what happened to a coral, the monti is what I call core dead so basically the flesh doesn't know this until it peels off, polyps still out and that is wafting flesh in the flow.
The temperature swing was about 2 weeks ago, this could get messy.

najer · Nov 10, 2020

This is the piece I put in 9 days ago, the smaller bit but you can see how well the snapped edge is healing, that was after the temp was back to normal.

As far as I am aware this is the only surviving acro in the tank and is happy to no longer be a ycg cushion.
The polyps have dropped the red but it seems fine.
I brushed off the cyano about two weeks ago so it is taking a while to come back and because of the ongoing engineer goby "cycling" I am just leaving the tank too it, there are a couple of corals needing a touch up so I will sort it later.
It has gone dormant but I can wait!

I hate tank bullying!! I still plan to get a yellow one, but it's going in the BioCube and NOT in the 90 with the green clown goby. How can such a cute fish be so mean?

It has been a sulky black blob for weeks, I keep forgetting to grab it when my hand is in as I want to move it to the puddle.

When I put the black one in the gcg tried it on and had a nip out of it's tail the following day, I did chuckle.

Being as I dislodged the rock the clone is on I moved it up a touch yesterday, it didn't walk!

Ok, freaky fox face update.
I have been working with it for about 9 months now and with a few signals we get things done.
It is like my in tank buddy and comes to my corner a lot, the pics below show you where that is re the above pics.
I show it the camera when I pick it up and wiggle it, it reacts with a half flick of the top fins.
To take those coral pics I placed the tip of the lens on the glass about 4 or 5 inches above it and it didn't even swim off!

Same here.

Someone is being a jerk and a bit of a thug, trying to figure out how to give him a time out.

feed fish with a turkey baster. they get accustomed to it and actually attack it when the tip is in the water. makes for easy netting of almost all of the 20+ fish in my tank.
