that goby looks like the same kind that me and my friends catch in Tampa Bay. i have no clue what kind it is but they seem to be fairly easy to keep since mine took to flake food in a matter of days. they do a great job cleaning up the bottom and sifting through the sand. oh and the star fish is looking local to although i don't know what its called.

[sinful]

yup, we need to meet up soon. You think they would pair with a pistol? you have any extra chaeto by chance?

 

[playa0069u]

ehh i dont have "extra" but I might i could be persuaded to trade a little. lol how big is your sump. but I got all of the algae and mangroves you need though. Mine hasent paired with the pistol but the pistol is only 1/2 inch so... idk.

The other algae looks like Gracillaria spp. . The star, I cant think of at the moment, but I have one at work that I had to key out the other day so I should be able to get it to you tomorrow if I remember. The goby looks to be a Gobiosoma robustum or Code goby. The only other two we get in the area that look like that are Gobiosoma bosc and Gobiosoma longipalla but where you are catching them I am 95% sure it is G. robustum Without being able to look at them under the scope makes it difficult, unless you want to get some dorsal and anal fin ray counts for me

Also I am 99% positive that they are not a shrimp pairing goby

cool thanks ryan.
