bent sleeper goby

[reeffanatic]

I have had a goldenheaded sleeper goby for about 1 year and in the last 2 weeks he has developed a "bend" in his body,,halfway between his head and his tail..
He is not lethargic at all and eats well,,he also sifts sand as he has always done..he doesnt seem to have any symptoms other than the "bend"..
Anyone know what causes this, how to treat and how to prevent this in the future ??

Ive got a "regular" sleeper goby and he seems to have a bend in him too, I think this is because they seem to swim with ther fins nearest their head and just let the back end hand down... does this sound like yours?

i agree,,but i am not sure that causes this
