    Clown Gobies are emo

    Hey everyone, long time no see. My 90 corner is still rocking away, and recently I've started a 10 gallon in my office.

    I picked up a couple of Clown Gobies (coral and green) and while they seem to be health, they just aren't very active.

    I've only had them in the tank about 3 days now, but unless I bend and stretch all around the tank I just can't see them.

    Everyone else in the tank is out and running around (cleaner shrimp, snails, tiny green chromis) and the tank has been up and running for about 20 weeks now.

    Any idea how to coax these little buggers out from under their favorite rock?

    Thanks all!

    I added a handful of them to my 90 a long time ago. the 2 yellow ones were immediately out and about, the 2 greens and the red were very reclusive for a few weeks. One green and the red continuously got onto my overflow and eventually perished, but the 2 yellows and the green Warpaint are very active and curious now. Just took the green a while to adjust.

    Thanks, that's what I was hoping to hear. I had a green one in a nano that I had a few years ago, and I remember him being very active. These two, not so much. Hopefully they'll get used to the place and start coming out.
