I have the same in my tank (might have come from the same parent colony Greg's came from if we trace back far enough). I think it's a Rumphella sp.

Thanks Dave, yes I recommend you get one, it will nicely top off your already awesome sps collection.
Thanks Tony, you are likely correct with everything you just said. Thanks for the confirmation.

Thanks Moses I am quite happy with the new PB. Yes that is a species of photosynthetic gorgonian.If memory serves I think it's a Rumphella sp.
I keep the sand sparkling clean with a pair of these gobies.
Awesome! I also have the same goby. Keeps my sand very clean as well.
I think I might get another one, but a small one so they can pair up.
I am not sure. I initially bought 3 hoping I'd get a pair out them and these two got together and the other was shunned to the dark reaches of the back of the tank and eventually I stopped seeing it so I assume it didn't make it. Long story short I don't know if they change sexes like some fish do. I also heard a rumor somewhere that these fish mate for life in the wild so I'm assuming they don't change
but who knows?Moses can you tell us what the deal is with these guys?

Ive heard that your best bet in pairing them is getting a very small one and a very large one and hope they will pair. Not sure if its guarantee they will pair.
:lol: That is one species I haven't tried in awhile since the jocs though the large polyps were a little too inviting. The other one was my one of my personal favorites, the og tubs horrida.
You've seen my sand/gravel and my nassarius' do fine.

Sorry, just saw this after PM'ing you back... DARN!
I use a fairly course aggregate from Caribsea and the gobies munch it like there's no tomorrow. I had some of those snails but the hermits are in their shells now so I guess something killed them but I think possesion is 9/10 of the law.:hammer:

Here's my new piece of A.desalwi that was just cut from the same original mother colony that the old one came from. It's pretty sweet already but I'm anxious to see if I can get it coloured up the way the previous one did. I have it chillin' in the frag tank for the time being until I figure out just the right spot for it to call home in the display.:rollface: And for comparison here is a link to a picture of the old one.
