Derry Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 So last week I heard this odd splashing from my tank to discover that my 5" bluejaw trigger had jumped into my overflow box. Over a year in the tank, and he finally decides to go exploring... I dismissed it as a one-off and went about my reefkeeping until this afternoon. My trigger gets in these modes where he just cruises one of the end panels of the tank, up and down, up and down. Well, he was in cruise mode like this when he got strafed by my male anthias chasing on of the females. The trigger startled, shot straight up (thank goodness for the canopy!) and splash, landed in the overflow again. Sigh... Looks like it's time to build a guard for the overflow!

mooric Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I hadn't seen my Yellow Watchman Goby for a week. Then the other day I was cleaning my filter basket and there he was...ALIVE. I put him back in the tank and he's been fine so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Maybe he just likes it in there. Are there bristle worms at the bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 I thought he needed to ride in a plastic baggie for that...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 The trigger has been rescued and is once again happily cruising in the display tank. And since the third time is so NOT the charm in this case... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 I was afraid that if I just put a flat cover, he could bounce off of it and fall behind the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
