Hi Kevin,
Well, about 6 months ago i saw a fluorescent green fungia with a purple mouth, that's the one which is gonna hurt the eyes most
They are not easy to find, iv put in my request to the supplier and waiting for it since 3 months plus.
Reds are even more difficult to find but are pretty amazing.
My idea is to get a collection of variant and colorful plates which will add some colour to the lower left corner of my tank.

Nice score my man! Ive had better luck keeping mine out of direct light and feeding it often. Just hit it with mysis when you feed your sun corals. Then wack the skrimp away from them til they swallow it. Greedy little buggers. I sure miss mine...

Hi Chris
Thanks bro.
Yep he is on the sandbed in a semi shaded area.
I usually squirt a bit of zooplankton preparation at the mouth of the plate.
One thing about fire shrimps are they are not as bold as the skunks. They hang around the over hangs and dont like to venture out far from that favorite spot. So it's one less work for me during feeding time

Sorry for ya loss there.
They are just beautiful corals. And in lots of colour variations.

Thanks Brett.
I did a quite of bit of staring at my tank today looking for the fellas, but not seen. I hope they find each other soon. Iv never had kept a goby n shrimp pair.
Let's see what happens...luck does play a role here huh!
I had a lone pistol shrimp in one of my old tanks, just very cool creature always busy around his hide out, digging and cleaning. He used to charge out and run around when I fed my fishes. Hope this new guy is as adventurous.

again man, nice score! I love shrimp/goby pairs. I added a shrimp awhile back but he never found or cared to find my watchman goby. I have a yellow watchman/pistol pair in my first reef and they were my main attraction. I spent more time watching the underside of the tanks vietkong tunnel system than the tank itself! They were a blast. Only issue is the piles of sand that will end up in and against all your lps on the sand...good luck with that.

Hiya Chris,
Hmm il b keeping an eye on that. I hope they both don't make a mess of the LPS on the sand :mad2:

The pistols are quite active guys. Usually staying at the mouth of the tunnel and busy cleaning n diggin.
I haven't seen mine after adding them in my DT. Dunno where it has disappeared in the abyss and hoping the pistol will show up sooner or later. The goby has taken refuge under the clam, peeking out every now and then

Felt I needed to get an accurate refractometer coz the one I had wasn't giving consistent readings, though it had ATC I don't think it was doing it's job. I had cross checked with salinity calibration solution and there was variation.
I got the Aquamedic Refractometer. The build quality of this refractometer is quite good and much better than the one I had got before.
Hope it's value for money.
