Jamie, thanks for the info!
Mine does seem to get excited when I feed the other fish. He'll nip at food floating by, but won't leave the acro. I don't feed a whole lot, yet he seems to be fat as can be, every day..
I also lost one of my nicest acro colonies lately and I suspect the goby might be partially blame. This colony had grown from a frag I got back in january and was always a healthy, fast grower. Right after adding the goby, it's polyp extension seemed to get very infrequent. Even to the point where I saw none at all. About a week ago, I noticed the colony was slowly starting to receed from the base.. I checked all my params.. all the same as usual.. did a water change.. added more current in the acro's direction... tried gluing over the reccession line.. Nothing worked. My suspician is that the colony was getting bugged to death by the goby. By not extending it's polyps, it slowly starved. I did give some frags out of the colony, in hopes that they will recover.
