Sweet... that YWG is pretty cute. Mine looks old and grumpy all the time. That anemone is pretty sweet too, but I have never heard of this species.. what are the care requirements , etc? Nice zoos too. I have a small colony of the bullseye's as well, very neat coloured zoo IMO!

scott: I talked to danny wai a long tome last night, I had many many ?
This is not dyed, and he said it stays small4-6 inches likes a sand bed.
I have him in pc lighting and i will watch him. If he starts to bleach he will go into the new 120g with halide soon!!!

I fed him mysid shrimp this afternoon....

You should get your goby a girlfriend. Mine hang out together and look happy with big smiles as they swim together and chew the sand.

Good score with the GC from the reefer party. Well done.

That "carnation anemone" looks a lot like a bleached and dyed BTA to me. I don't know any others that have that 'bubble tip' that it's displaying subtly. On the other hand, I can't imagine Wai's selling it on those terms. It appears "clear" yellow, which means no (or little) zooxanthellae; either bleached or non-photosynthetic. Feed it well.

Please keep posting as to success and any further info.

It is beautiful. I hope it isn't doomed.

I know it's not dyed . I have seen this type of anemone in green colour at ocean aquarium. Plus, given your tank paramaters are good, and you have some good lighting over it. I bet you any money it would bounce back anyhow.. it's a neat little anemone. Definately not a BTA either. They do not have those short and stubby like tentacles. IME they are either long and strandy, or plump and short (bubbles) But hey.. you never know, I could be out to lunch :razz:

Snappy: That's a great idea, and I think I will have to look into that very soon. I just lost my starcki damsel to reasons unknown a couple days ago so I need another fish to (sadly) replace him. Anyone know if there is any female YWG's around town? Aren't the females brown in colour or a tan colour? I would like to get him a partner, it would be neat to see him interact with another fish (he's the loner of the group...) [sorry for the hijack]

It would be a great surprize for me to see Danny sell a dyed anything.
As far as the watchman goby's, my male is yellow and the female is grey & white with blue bottom fins. They are a cute pair. I got them at Wai's about 10 months ago.

Awesome.. I plan on getting one. That will make 2 pairs in my tank, the clowns and the gobies. I think it would be pretty cool that way. I want to see my YWG interact some more.. think I may go grab one today (again sorry for the hijack :redface: )
