Well, here's an update. The first yellow watchman goby went MIA on day 2, and is no more. After 2 weeks of waiting, as well as continual confirmation the candy pistol shrimp was alive and well, I hooked back up with Justin at AS, and got another yellow watchman goby yesterday. Last night, he burrowed in on the opposite side of the tank from the pistol shrimp... I thought all hope was lost for months, but when the lights came on today, I found the goby in the burrow with the pistol shrimp
The shrimp is a lot more confident now, and I actually get to see it for longer than a passing second. The goby and my McCosker's flasher wrasse have had a few face offs, but nothing violent. The goby puffs his jaw and turns sideways, and the wrasse spreads all his fins out. Very beautiful show of the two.
I have more zoanthid frags, some blue-green/purple mushrooms and an SPS frag (some sort of green Acropora?) - Thanks Justin (Aquatic Specialists)!
I know that kennv431 is ready for me to throw down my hand with some pics. All in good time. I want to see what these two can do after the shrimp finishes the room additions
