watchman goby

I’ve had a yellow watchman goby and a green clown goby in a quarantine tank for about a week. They spend a lot of time hiding (to be expected) which has caused me to struggle getting them fed. The clown goby flips out after I tried target feeding him with a syringe a few times. The...

I have a 40 gallon reef tank. I have at least 4 different types of coral, 2 red firefish, a watchmen goby, maroon clown, blue legged hermit crab and a Mexican Turbo snail. Everyone eats and acts normal. But I recently noticed a tiny white mucus spot near the tail of the maroon clown. At first I...

I got Marty, a Pink Spotted Watchman Goby, about a week ago. I was watching him while feeding earlier and noticed he has a rough patch of blackened scales and it appears there is some kind of parisite moving under his skin (see attached video). What is wrong with Marty and how can i treat him?

My watchman goby has been in this tank for a month & he has yet to settle in. He is constantly at the top of the tank, he never goes down to the sand bed. Is this normal? I have 2 pistol shrimp which I was hoping he would pair with but since he never goes to the sand bed, I dont think hes even...

Yellow watchman owners, I recently received an adult watchman and he is anything but yellow; more grey than anything. I know that it's typical for them to change colors over their life time. (Bonus if someone can give me advice on how to get him to turn pretty yellow. My research from the...

Hi all! I have a 32-gallon biocube that my SO and I started. This is our very first tank! It's been cycled for a few months now. We have a firefish named Ember....get it?! A yellow watchman goby named Hamilton (like the watch brand), a pistol shrimp named Pistol Pete. Unfortunately, Hamilton...

Hey everyone, I have a 1.5" Yellow Watchman Goby that has somehow managed to squeeze it's way through my overflow, through a filter chamber, around the IM Ghost Protein Skimmer, and into the big middle chamber where I keep my heater, ATO switch and return pump. If you aren't familiar with this...

I've had a pistol shrimp in my tank for a while now. About 2 weeks ago I added a watchman goby. I released the watchman goby near (ish) the place the pistol shrimp calls home. Now I have the pistol shrimp in her original location under a large rock toward the left side of the tank and the...

I QT a watchman goby, added it to my DT, it was active and out and about for about a week then disappeared. I haven't seen her in about a month. When do I decide she died and got eaten by the shrimp? I did not get an ammonia spike that would indicate a dead body somewhere (and I do have a lid)...
