2fish and the yellow acro that damnnear died and has come back a brighter color then when i got it.
I hate to break it to you, but that looks dead to me. The brown parts are the remaining skin that's left alive. Hard to tell 100% from the pic though. Color transformations on SPS from brown to lighter colors can take many months.
And that engineer goby get's HUGE (up to a foot long) so isn't a long term resident.
Are you running carbon and floss in your filter? The water looks hazy and both of those things would really help on out that front. GFO would also be a good addition.
Sorry, not trying to focus on the negative, rather trying to give you some constructive criticism

no worries ange, my water is actually absolutely crystal clear, thats just the best we could get my girls camera to adjust to the lighting. i do run carbon, but i alternate it with phosphate remover. the standard emporor carbon/floss cartridges and then fluval clearmax phosphate/nitrate removing resin bag and floss.. kinda switch em out with each other every sunday after water change. and im aware of the engineers size, but he is so cool lol.i got a little time i figure and hopefuly he stays maintainable size for a while, but i plan on upgrading to a much larger tank, 90 cube or 125 long, once i figure out if im moving or not and save up a nice fund for it, and converting this to a small predator tank. as for the acro, it is really, really yellow now. and a month ago when it turned brown and peeled i thought it was a lost cause, especially after seeing it bleach white. that small brown patch is all that remained and seems to be loosening up to fall off itself, kinda ripples when i hit it with the baster. and i never seen it extend its polyps before but now i do see em, so im keeping my fingers crossed. ha, ya cant win em all. i also know i will probably be trading in the sally lightfoot one day as well, but the little buggger is entirely to entertaining and productive to worry about that now. thanks for the input though, hopefully i stay lucky, and the acro makes it......."knocks on wood"
