SuncrestReef Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I came home from dinner tonight and found this. I started getting muscle cramps from squeezing the turkey baster for 10 minutes to clean it up. 🙄 Drag the slider left or right to see before and after: 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuncrestReef Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Sadly, this was the last I saw of my goby. He didn't come out the following day, and didn't come out this morning. When I saw my Apex ORP probe dropping rapidly, I suspected something died in the tank. I dug out the sand from where he always sleeps and found his body stuck in the sand at the opening to his cave. He always buried the cave opening each evening, and then darted through the sand into the cave. But apparently this time the sand was too thick and he got stuck. I'm pretty bummed.  😢 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you move some rocks around or something? Seems crazy that he just got stuck. Either way, sorry to hear.

No, nothing had changed. Every night he would spend about 30 minutes diligently covering the open hole of his cave with sand, and then dive through it. I guess he had grown larger, so maybe that's why he got stuck.   Here's a slo-mo video I captured months ago:  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
