Picked up two Gobies today. They are staying together and eating food. The Emperor gets close but leaves before they can jump on. They are near the Tube Anemone and I hope they do no become dinner!!

The hybridization of two goby species represents a real breakthrough in the breeding of saltwater aquarium species. This cross of the Caribbean Neon Goby (E. oceanops) and the Brazilian Yellowline Goby (E. figaro) is a first for captive raised marine fish other than clownfish.
The results of this effort have yielded a hybrid goby that combines the blue of the Neon and the yellow of the Yellow-line. Some are a greenish blue color while others are showing a yellow lined head and a blue lined body. Further breeding efforts at ORA™ may produce a true breeding color morph of these two species.

I love these guys. They do an excellent job picking the fish clean. And will chase fish around unlike a cleaner shrimp. A must have for anyone with tangs!

So far they are staying together on the front corner of the tank. They try to get on the Emperor but she swims away.

I think I lost one but it is hard to say for sure. I have only seen one the last few days.
