    I was at the LFS today and they had a shipment of tiger sleeper/wardii gobies. I scooped up the healthiest one they had. They really are stunning. They also had citron clown gobies, but I decided to leave 'em alone. All sorts of rare gobies though. I might get a citron next week if I go to finish stocking the tank.

    Oh, right. Here ya go. There not great. I just flipped the lights on for ten seconds to grab the pictures with my cell phone then turned them back off. I'll get you guys some better ones when the lights come back on and he gets more comfortable.

    He was pretty freaked out to start, but he's calming down now. I have the actinics on. He was getting attacked by my ocellaris and was cornered in the top corner so I moved him to the opposite side of the tank and he looks pretty good.

    I'm working on better pics right now. The tank is completely light free because he is getting bullied by everyone. He is the new guy after all. I'm waiting until he digs himself a burrow before I turn the lights back on.

    Haven't seen him in a while. Hopefully he dug himself a nice burrow to get away from it all for a while.
