Can watchman gobies make holes through LR?

Just curious. LFS tried to say theirs did. I never heard of that and think they are full of BS.

I call BS:yes: . They really don't have any means to do it with.

I doubt that they can actually "make" holes...but some can act much like my bi-color blenny...he has several holes that he hides in. He didn't actually bore the holes ... he just cleans them out and occupys them as he sees fit.

It would take about as long as Tim Robbins in the Shawshank Redemption.

Certain watchman gobies will bore holes in live rock just as crocea clams do by secreting an acidic substance and dissolving the rock... just kidding... what NMreef said... and good one Innsmouth...

That's what I thought, just wanted to double check here. What makes it more "amazing" is that it had been there only a week and "bore" a hole at least 2 1/2 -3 inches deep, not to mention it was a little guy to boot.
