    Looking to buy something for my goby to chill in. Hes not out alot and id like him to have a spot he enjoys.
    Also looking for cleanup crew, or really anything reef safe as my goby is my only inhabitant besides my clowns going into the 125 im getting.

    What color goby is it?

    My yellow goby likes SPS primarily. That can be a problem. I get tissue recession on some of the corals he rests in. My tri-colored valida seems to be a favorite of his. Also my slimer and purple milli. The slimer and purple milli don't like it and have had tissue recession. The valida doesn't seem to be bothered.

    ;) I do have a couple frags of the valida left from Fall Fest.

    I also have a blue-green goby. Occasionally he rests on an SPS, but he reallly likes my leathers - Colt leather, devil's hand, and sinularia.

    That's good. That clown goby is more 'reef safe', IMO. It likes leathers. Do you have any leathers?

    that logic makes sense in a weird sort of way :)

    I have some pink pocillopora if you want any for free. will have to dip it since it is in a flatworm tank. in Bondurant. let me know.

    Oh man... Then you had better get a pocillopora so it negates the effects of the leather:)

    I think you need to get another heater first.
