Look who's out and about! I came home from work today to be amazed to see the blue cheek goby right out in the open and not even fussed about seeing me staring in at him. Even when I grabbed the camera he didn't budge and I was pleased to see he's fattening up well :D

He's a handsome devil

:D

The toby is a right greedy guts too and just loves krill and crushed cockles and the coral beauty loves zooming in and out of the rockwork and eats all I feed him too, so it's a happy tanky at the moment with completely untouched corals :)

Ooooh I'm excited! My LFS are going try try and get me a small leopard toby! Failing that a small solorensis. They'll try and get it used to being with a valentini before I take it home :D

the valentini has been called Moomin or Moo for short as I think it looks like a fresian cow and the blue cheek is called Norman. The coral beauty has no name yet but rules the roost at the mo :lol:

Well, my tank is now fully stocked fish wise with a gorgeous Leopard Toby who has already settled in nicely with Moomin, Zippy and Norman :D

Here it is...

he's had the inspection from Moo while in bag

It's only a bubba like Moomin at around 2 inches long, but everyone is getting on well so far :D

Very cool, you found one!

IMO, no puffers are reef safe.
