    The last sighting of my watchman goby was Friday (almost a week ago). I was getting paranoid since my last goby had jumped out and died. I've been looking around the tank every day with a flashlight - no goby. He generally would poke his head out during feeding time, but no goby all week. Yesterday, I caught a brief glimpse of the pistol shrimp, but no goby. Lo and behold, I just looked over at the tank and there he is, with the pistol shrimp digging furiously! I guess they decided to work underground for a while. Anyway, I sure was glad to see that goby!

    Thanks! I really missed the yellow guy! It had been a lonely week with my goby missing and Jwin off scuba diving in the Bahamas (poor dear). I really miss that boy of mine - he keeps things livened up around here - not to mention that I have to maintain the tanks when he's gone! ;D
