Looking For Shrimp Goby
Hello Fellow Zonans!
I am pretty sure that somehow or another, I lost my blue-spotted watchman goby, most likely to a tunnel collapse but I really don't know... Either way, I have a lonely Alpheus bellulus wishing for a service animal, and I figure rather than buy something online and pay too much for shipping or settle for something tiny and yellow from the LFS I'll put some feelers out and see if maybe somebody out there has a shrimp-less goby that would be happier with a little arthropoda in its life. I'll trade a few frags or my Kole tang something, if that works... I've got a nice purple monti cap that grows six feet a year, and a good sized black haliclona colony I could snip a piece off of... lots of random colors of zoanthids and a few shrooms too, could easily put a shell next to some and let them grow onto it if you're into softies... a few cool acroporas... I dunno. If you really want cash maybe we can work it out... ...and I'm not against yellow gobies... if it's big enough to not be easily punched out by the shrimp, I'm open to consideration.

Seven, With One Blow!!!

i can say honestly that it has grown from 1" to easily over 8" in diameter in six months, and it seems exponential, seeing as about half of that growth happened in the last six weeks (strangely in-line with the setting-up of my RKL and starting to dose Alk/Calc daily... hmmm...).  Quote:
either way, here's a shot of the colony that i took last night. the burn on the bottom edge of the Monti is from the Lobo in the top right corner of the image, where i moved it so it couldn't do anymore damage! the burn happened in one night (after months without issue: the Monti cap is on a growing spree lately and it finally got close enough), but as of this photo it has been healing for maybe a week, and you can see the new growth (bright bluish-white) has already covered some 20-25% of the burn area. i hope it triggers the start of a new pad!  closer up...  i have T5 lighting, so you can see the purple is a little reddish and the growing edge looks basically white. i fragged this very same colony about three months ago (bet you can't see where!) and in one of my friends' tanks (she runs MH with blue LEDs), it is superdeep purple and the growing edge is electric blue. her piece is growing much faster than mine too: it's already more than half the size. i'll PM her and see if she will post a pic on RC also... OMG LOL ****  as far as selling some goes, i am more interested in a shrimp goby but the lady would probably not mind me making some money off the tank either... what do you think dan? how much is a colony of this worth to ya? i could chip maybe a 3-4" chunk (by about an inch wide) off the edge without too much trouble, and even if the piece breaks, the small frags will fuse together in less than a week after being superglued next to each other. you could get some nice three-dimensional growth going on early with the right rock... if your lighting is bright and your water chemistry is nice, a piece that size should be pretty impressive in almost no time! thanx too, all who have been interested! still looking for a lonesome goby! more pics of stuff i'm willing to frag coming soon... PLAH! Alex

http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2206637 it has grown a LOT since these pics... it is at least 1.5" past the old Lobo burn and has a lot of really interesting new growth at the top. by the way, if anyone IS still looking at this thread, i lost my pistol shrimp in the forced-overhaul that happened in my tank, so i am not looking for a shrimp goby anymore. i AM looking for a Vlamingi tang though...
