Jan 11, 2010 #2 daugherty part time reefer it is prob just dustoff the rock or a bit of sand from when they suck up a pod
Jan 11, 2010 #4 sebastio12 Living Reefs Student Agreed, don't most pod hunting gobies and such take up sand from the 'hunt'?
Jan 11, 2010 #6 sebastio12 Living Reefs Student Yeah, my diamond goby is sending crap into the water all day :grumble:
Jan 11, 2010 #7 U4BOYZ Got Fish? Yep, my goby is hard at work too. Sifts through sand all day. It's the mandarin that's weird...just blows out a very fine sand occasionally. Must be leftovers like everyone suggests. :)
