FS Convict Goby and Rose Bubble Tip

[tricky]

We have some Convict Gobies that we would like to sell. They are also commonly called Engineer Goby and the scientific name is Pholidichthys Leucotaenia.
If you like eels, you will love this fish. They are hearty, reef safe and very passive. The big show stopper with this guy is how he gets the common name of engineer goby. They love to move your sandbed around. Not just a little, either.
We have three of them, around 10" long. They have done just fine in the 175G reef for several years. We have our live rock supported under the sand bed with "rock stilts", so their digging has not affected the 5 inch sandbed. Once they have the sand arranged the way they like it, they do not actually mess things up that bad. He will definitely keep your sand stirred up in the back side of the tank, though. Terry caught one of them while I was out of town, and he is now somewhat accessible in the 20G frag tank. He is going to town rearranging it to his likes, but this guy is just not meant for this small of a tank!

Check out some of the comments from Bob Fenner , or search the web by name. He is a cool fish, and could be yours for just $20.

We have a beautiful Rose Bubble Tip Anemone that finally moved to a location in the tank where we can safely remove him (or her, how do you tell?). Yours for $35.

i would like the rose bubble tip. can you send a pic to zart007@bellsouth.net. how big is he?

It is little too early in the day for a good picture. It's sleeping in today. I can get a good pic in a few hours, perhaps. Meanwhile, here is a shot of the clone stock in the other tank to give you an idea what it looks like. It is probably about 1 1/2" at the base and 3-4" spread, but they change in size a lot according to mood.

Cozart, you were first on the BTA.
Bluecarpt, I will see if I can get another one off of a rock today. I don't want to stress it by forcing, however.

Where abouts in orlando do you live? And are the rbt all the same size pretty much? Thank you.

 

[cozart]

that sounds good. when can i come and pick him up?

 

[tricky]

Bluecarpet,
We live in Ocoee, real close to the end of the East-West at the Turnpike and West Colonial. One mile south from the corner of Colonial and Maguire Road.
Cozart,
PM me with your number, we'll call you later this evening if you can meet tonight. Otherwise, tomorrow is ok with us.

OK, they are starting to wake up, so here is a pic of the two in the softie tank, they are maybe half the size of those in the big reef.

Please excuse the hijack in advance!
Hey Tricky, can you tell me what that coral is in the lower right? I'm really in need of some frags with that lighter/brighter purple or red range, it seems that everything I get is either green, blue or dark purple... I'd love to buy a frag of it if you are interested...
