Great looking Goby J!! Can't wait to see pics of the Pistol Shrimp. When are we going to get together again and talk fish!!?? Hope all is well with you.

Mike, you need to come out to the meetings man! its a once a month excuse to break out the fish talk!

 

[returnofsid]

LOL I know, I know...now if only my schedule would allow.

Great looking Goby. Don't know about the algae sorry. Does it grow much?

 

[theJ]

Deb, thanks for the comments That algae is about 1-2 months old, and started out as a little gold ball at the base of where it is attached now. Strange looking algae isnt it?

I posted a thread in the advanced forum hoping to get some more eyes on it, if you want to follow along and see what it is, check it out here: http://www.reeffrontiers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=289367#post289367

This picture makes me depressed.

I just went to Kevin's (aquatic dreams) and bought one with a Pistol Shrimp. Unfortunately the Orange Spot went carpet surfing the next day...

I can't hear or see the shrimp yet though...

On a good note though, Nice Looking Fish!

ours went surfing twice during acclimation, they are tough dont worry was yours in the tank when it jumped out?

 

[Damsel13]

I get the feeling it was KIA

 

[theJ]

I didnt realize untill now what you said snowboard, i am sorry for your loss

But I did say I was going to catch a shot of the shrimp, here he is:

Kind of a crappy but opprotunistic shot, you need to click it and zoom to really see

 

[steven11]

Very cool!

J, glad you finally found the shrimp!! I know you were worried for awhile. Great pics too!!
