I picked up a goby today, changes colors, blue, yellow, white. Can't find what it's actually called. No pics, still acclimating. Thanks

Flashing tile goby maybe?

You must have got it from ocean creations

Expensive fish but worth it! And yap its a flashing tilefish!

I just finished putting a ghetto screen cover over the top, he's in my 55. He's acclimated, swimming and eating!

Yep got him from oceans, expensive for sure so don't want him surfing out of the tank. The flashing I read is due to stress, so as cool as it is to watch him change colors, I don't want him stressed!

I'll throw a pic up when he's out a bit more, just checked and he's hiding again.

I also got a little one spot fox face, gotta admit he's kinda cute, thanks for talking me into it! He's in the 180.

I'm really enjoying my one spot. He is a bit of a going concern (he's very easily stressed), but he seems to be settling down more and more. I just found him up in the top corner of the tank with his snout practically out of the water. Everything tests fine.

He's gobbling up the algae, and cyano. Isn't nipping any polyps that I can see. Loves mysis.

I'm sure you're really going to enjoy yours.

Just for your guys info a small one spot fox face does better in the long term off of .08 semi sinking pellets then frozen and they are a herbivores.
Just saying I love mine! But I try to get all my fish on pellets over frozen!
Also a nori sheet once a week or so is great.
