Randall's Goby

A peaceful, small fish that's easy on the eyes. I've had one for a while, no issues. Photograph provided by 'Happy George' - thanks for that, by the way.

Here's a brief rundown on their care requirements:

- Tank size: 30 gallons minimum
- Water parameters: standard for most ...

You'll notice that when there are so many babies on one skeleton, they start to become misshaped and fuse together as they grow. It's not yet feasible to try dislodging them, given their current size. However, as they get larger and start competing for space, you can test some of the bigger ones ...

Thanks for sharing your experience Somosomo, I really appreciate it. I'm curious, did you ever target feed the babies as they grew? Now that I've relocated the skeleton to the frag section, monitoring them is much easier. I decided to try feeding them Reef Roids this afternoon and I was pleased to ...

I appreciate everyone's input on this. After the plate coral died in late September, I moved the skeleton to the back of the tank, figuring this might happen. We first noticed the "buds" about 30 days later, but weren't sure what they were. About 30 days ago, we were pretty sure they were babies, so ...

We recently had a plate coral kick the bucket in September due to a kalk mishap, but the skeleton's now teeming with babies - I'd say 50-60+?. On one side, it's like a coral baby boom, with them growing on top of each other (check the pic below). I've got a couple of questions:
1) Should we thin out ...

We've had a great experience with our Symphyllia, a large one at 10-12 inches, and it's proven to be very hardy. A few accidental frags were created when moving it, and those have done well too - they've been sold and the buyers have reported back with positive updates. Based on this limited ...

I'm not too worried about it, looks healthy enough to me at this point.

One of my most memorable mishaps was when I accidentally left my external filter off for 12 hours - I completely forgot to switch it back on. When I finally realized my mistake, I quickly turned it back on, but unfortunately, it almost led to disaster with a sulfur spike. Luckily, I only lost my ...

You'll also want to consider adding some larger food items to the mix, such as silverside or krill - I've found my elegance can handle surprisingly substantial chunks of food.

I figured you could still reach out to the seller, see if they have another one or something, since the auction didn't go through.
