Pink Tile Goby Do you have or know about?

[Crows Ridge]

I saw an amazing fish that came into the LFS today. They call it a Pink Tile Goby. It is beautiful and they claim reef safe. I cannot find any info doing a Google search.

Anyone know about them or have one?

Thanks, Chris

If it is anything like the other tile gobies they are jumpers and you need to cover any openings you have. On my old tank I left one, half inch hole and my purple tile fish jumped out. If the same fish I am thinking of they are definitely reef safe.

Chris,
Check this website and see if this is the fish you were talking about to make sure I am thinking of the same fish you saw. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/tilefishes.htm

Yes Mike, thats the first place I went. Like I knew that one was coming

This fish is the shape cross between a scissor goby and a wrasse type body. Its the color of a purple square anthia. Very pink with a brilliant blue head. Its about 4" long and 1/2"-5/8" diameter.

Well, good news bad news. That is what they are, although the pics do no justice to the ones at the LFS. Bad news is that they dont do well.

Thanks for the link!
