    Well...I finally did it. I was at Aquatic Outlet, in inglewood...and they were having 35% off for their members (which I am). And I just couldn't resist. I got the healthiest, small and passive clown goby I could find. It seems to be doing ok in the tank with papa bear. The old clown goby is a bit territorial, but I hope that eventually things will settle down.

    Wow thats too bad. I have my fingers crossed hoping the two clown gobies will become "friends" if you know what I mean. ;)

    Tuxedos are beautiful but keep in mind that anything that's "loose" in your tank can be picked up and stuck to the back of your urchin. I had to remove a 3" maxima clam from my tuxedo many years ago so keep an eye on it!

    :lol: Piggybacks are allowed but if the tuxedo drops your corals or clams somewhere where they can't get the light, you're screwed :D
