Will goby infected by ick themselves while I was told that they are suppose to eat those ick thing. :irked:
I saw white dots on their head. I just brought them from FT and don't want them to infect my virgin SW tank! By the way, some ppl say they are neon goby while some say they are engineer goby-anyone really know for sure. They are black in color with a horizon white line and "some white dots"-too small to see if they are color of the skin or something attached on them.


Also what does it mean when a Candy Cane turn inside out?

Does Candy Cane spore?

If your candy cane turned inside out??????? I'd be at least a little worried, somethings wrong if that happened, really wrong. Candy canes are really hardy and probably means somethings wrong with the water quality in the tank.

but it can turn back in when it wants to too. It looks like it is trying to release some kind of white dots from its tentacles. Does Candy Cane spore?

They are engineer gobies.

They are mis-labled @ FT & they continue to do it.
I got caught too.

When they are smaller, they do resemble "goldline" neon gobies.



Engineer Gobies, a.k.a. Convict Blennies, are usually found as juveniles and have an elongated eel-like body. They are black with a white horizontal stripe running from eye to tail. In the wild they form huge schools over sandy bottoms. They can be kept in groups and like to burrow under rockwork.


The Neon Goby is a slender Goby that has an electric blue body stripe that runs from the front of each eye to the base of its tail. The upper body of this fish is usually darker with a pale underside. These fish serve as cleaners in the wild and will setup a cleaning station at reefs where fish come to be cleaned of parasites. They spend most of their day clinging and perching on rockwork or aquarium glass. They are very peaceful and make great additions to any peaceful tank.

another thing to add about any fish that cleans ick, they are suseptable to it as well. IE: A cleaner wrasse can become infected with ick and has no way of cleaning it off of himself.
Skunk cleaner shrimp make good additions as they clean the inhabitants but are imune to things like ick. They will however rob your corals everytime they manage to snag some food out of the water. :mad:
