I will take a picture of the goby just to confirm the name.
But a fish pairing with a shirmp is weird.
Yeah, it's odd and I hardly ever see it work once people put them in their home aquariums. They pair with Pistol Shrimp. The shrimp protects their burrow during the day while they are swimming around, and then the pistol shrimp has the burrow protected by the fish at night.

I took some picture, can you tell me which goby this is?
I also uploaded the other blennies that I got. Total of three.
One of them is hiding.

thanks for the confirmation.
I tried catching the guy, but he is too fast.
Any advice on how I can catch him?

How are your anthias? My Coral Beauty killed my Dispars so now all I've got is the Purple Queen until my LFS gets more in. I'm in the process of trying to catch the monster angelfish. She's going to be a "gift" to the LFS.

They come out mostly night time. But this morning I saw three of them swimming in the open. I haven't seen them eat any food that put in.
I hope they don't starve to death.

Mine were doing this too. Only today is the Purple Queen finally swimming out in the open, but I haven't seen her eat at all. I'm going to try zooplankton mixed with my regular fish food today now that it's out in the open and see what happens. Pretty fish, but such a PIA!!!!

this site is chock full of saltwater fish for dirt cheap..they are practically giving stuff away for free. www.petesfishplace.com i had to share this one. i had the guy come out to my location and maintain a 200 gal tank i had running for a while now..he got the job done in no time he even gave me a free clown fish for booking a second apointment with him to clean/maintain the tank for me.
