I’ve had a randall’s pistol paired with a pinkbar goby for a good 7-8 months now. Unfortunately we disturbed the crap out of their hole messing with some coral mounting. I saw them both run out and I assumed they were making a new burrow in the back, but I have not seen or heard the pistol in a few days now and I usually at least hear him nightly.
The goby is hanging out in the back area and it feels somewhat like the area has been dug out, but I’m not positive. Also usually see some burrow progress Im not usually seeing. My only hope is the goby is still protecting the burrow meaning the pistol is alive, but this could also just mean the goby has no better place to hide.
I fear I’ll lose the goby if I wait too long if the pistol is in fact dead, but I also dont want to screw over the pistol by getting another if he is in fact alive.
HALP! lol
