Bangaii and hectors goby

[reefnut guy]

I added a sweet, smaller, Hectors Goby to my 180 display. I wasn't even thinking there may be an issue with tank mates. My large Bangaii is a little too interested and making me nervous. I have seen it(the bangaii) go after the goby sort of. The goby has a nice little cave and is staying close to the entrance. Is it just a matter of getting used to each other. I can try to get the Bangaii out but its gonna be a job.. Would a pistol shrimp deter the Bangaii if I can pair them up?

Pistol shrimp won't pair up with a Hector's Goby. Feed the tank a few times today. I find fish are less aggressive when they have full bellies. Your tank is plenty big enough for the Goby to find refuge, I think they will sort it out themselves.
