Has anyone here had experience with a blue spot watchman goby. I forget the scientific name but i have one and he exhibits extremely strange behavior...

Every morning id have to go through a ritual of flipping all my snails overand getting some out of a pile near a rocky overhang... well oneday i saw my goby pick a snail up... and place it back down upside down! What is that!? Hahaha so now i observe him picling up snails and placing them on algae haha its actually quite funny to watch until he gets upset and flips them over hahaha hes srted to hoarding the nassarius snails in his cave of sorts

My Orange Spotted Sleeper Goby does the same thing, he has a little pile of snails he stacks neatly in a corner, if they try to escape, he will pick them up, and flip em over...Then he will add them back to the pile.He spits sand in my eels face, then Schew!To his cave he goes!hes used about 1/8th of my sand bed to make his cave with, he keeps things stirred up.

His name...Is Rascal

Mine also spits sand at things... my emeralds will be happily eating algae amd he will shoot a big cloud at them. I wish i had my camera a few minutes ago but he is now picling up my peppermint shrimp and putting them in holes in my LR. I think i have all the fish with personality... i have zebra barred dartfish that swim upside down everytime im near the tank and gold striped maroon clown (i think thats it) that prefers pvc pipe to the anemone hes best suited to host.with.. and i have a percula clown that paired with the other clown -___- everything ive heard about fish is exactly the opposite in my tank

Fish are a lot like people.Some are picky about food, some aren't.Some are out there, some are shy, some are happy go lucky, others...Bullies.Personality varies within the same species all the time.I had a long nose butterfly that was supposed to be an omnivore, yet it ate nothing but herbivorous food.Had 2 yellow tangs one time, one was easy going, the other was very aggressive towards other tank mates.
