Every night he piles up shells and coral pieces in front of his home.

I thought I'd include the pic. of the wrasse with the goby for you. I know if I had to sell any of my fish I'd like to see pic.'s of them every now and then. He's doing great and we love him very much.

Yes my lovely goby has a nack for dumping sand everywhere too. But since he does a good job in keeping the sand bed clean I'm ok with it.

It is a checkerboard. And yes he was reef safe in my tank anyways and i assume he is in Lauries as we'll.

Took us 1.5years to find that guy..I am sure if you asked specifically for him you may be able to find someone to bring one in.:)

He is a checkerboard wrasse and he doesn't touch any of my corals, however he is the type of wrasse that is considered fish only. This is because they are known to eat/or may eat inverts. Here is a link with some info. about them. Also please note that this wrasse will need a large tank as they will grow to 11 inches long.
