anyone having any luck, even a little?

i have had a few but cant even get them to make it to starting a log.

i found one in my refugium/frag tank though, its very skinny but must be eating as i have had it for months.

HI Damien

My citrinus got seperated as one was over dominating the other, I know Witts book mentions feeding black worms to get them breeding fast to stop this.

I have a bunch (10) of the black ones so will seperate them and try some more.

Only bought one pair, G.Okinawae, I know sex goes both ways but bought one small and one large hoping that if they were M/F from the start they may settle in better.

No real fighting, the larger took residence in one of two small staghorn acro the other remaining on the bottom. Bought a small acro table after four weeks which the smaller one took up residence in with the larger one slowing joining the smaller after a couple days. Have since removed the table and both seem happy and paired.

Feed prawn, flathead roe and enriched nhbb.

Bare 180l tank two perc's, three potter's, a long spine urchin and assorted snails, three small acro's and 2kg of LR

Those with pairs of Gobiodon Okinawae is there any thoughts on the white patch on the cheek? I notice one has it and one doesn't.
