Yellow Watchman?

[mozz]

Hi, my yellow watchman goby turned white. Is he going to be alright? He's eating good.
Thanks

Yeah, he's fine, they change color to pale gray or white sometimes. Not sure if he is turning back to yellow though.

I bought a yellow watchman that was kind of gray/white and it paired up with my pistol shrimp but stayed pale. About a month later I added a yellow-yellow watchman and it paired up with the others. Now a few months later, my pale watchman has turned yellow like its partner. Not sure about the coloration or gender differences of watchmen gobies, but they sure are interesting.

Yes very interesting, a pistol shrimp will be my next addition.
Thanks jechew2.

How did you make sure that the two yellow watchmen gobies would pair? How do they interact with each other and the pistol shrimp?
