Question Yellow Watchman Goby
My Yellow Watchman Goby has turned white. Not a pure white but it is significantly lighter in colour than when I first got him and I don't believe his colour has changed gradually since I brought him home a couple months ago. Has anyone had any experience with this? All my tests came up clean showing nothing abnormal. Thanks for your time

what are you feeding him?
try using a macro algae to supplement the diet.
I feed mysis, bine shrimp, and macro algae with a lot of carrotein and my watchman is bright yellow!

hope that helps

I believe that means she's a female.

Now i don't guarantee anything, But i was pretty sure i read somewhere that the female will lose her yellow as she matures.

You could definatley be right. I dont really remeber the details about what I read, Just that the gray ones were the female.

Same thing happened with mine. Oh well, we still love (him/her). http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=21164

Several sources report having them change back and forth. Weird.
