Well that's good to hear he's actually come out of hiding and I can have a better look
at him. His little head looks odd to me, wasn't the show speciman I was hoping for. I
hope that like your goby I will see some improvement. So much for ethic's on shipping.
cest la vie!

To be fair the stress of shipping can change a fish's colours. He might of had good colouring in the store.
Whenmy achilles tang arrived here he was very pale (almost yellow) and looked like some kind of gold rim hybrid

That's a burn!
In reality, your anthias will turn into a female and will be orange in a few months anyway. If you want to keep a male, you will need several females to guard. With square blocks you need a MASSIVE tank to achieve that. When you get credit, get another species.

Well maybe it is turning female, but I got a better look and the belly is sunken. The fish was
not in good condition when it left the store, for that I am 100% certain. The ironic thing
is that I also got a canary benny and was told he was scrawny so they'd give it to me
for half price. The poor little thing is doing amazing, he has made himself quite at home.
In reality they did not give him for half price when I asked they said oh yeah we did. Do
people always assume your dumb? If they had been up front I may have or may not have
taken him. It just bugs me when I have no say.

Some people have no scruples! Who did you get these from? People like that do not deserve to be in business!
