    Got a firefish goby yesterday and he seems to be doing very well.

    He scared me when he jumped out onto the floor during acclimation :eek:

    The 3 get along very well

    The anemone was dead on arrival? Were these shipped to you? I know you said no guarantee, but doesn't that assume you had a living specimen to begin with?

    Great addition to the tank. Just lost mine after a year. Jumped out of the tank. They are known jumpers. An anemone isn't something I would order on-line.

    You may want to watch your fish selection. The domino and maroon clown both get extremely aggressive. The firefish is very docile and may get picked on by on or both of them.

    Nice fish. I like the markings on your maroon. Nice thick stripes. It will be interesting to see who hosts the anenome when you get one. The domino damsel is known for hosting.

    ...And they do not have an "arrive alive" guarantee?

    My domino stole a rbta from my pair of percs. I was pretty funny to see a nonclownfish get down in it like that.

    I will keep an eye out for aggression. Lesson learned about buying anemone online. The fish had a guarantee but the anemone didn't.

    Those are such cool looking fish. I really like the colors on the Firefish and Purple Firefish.
