Clown Goby Agression, Dead 6 line wrasse and stressed corals

[RayAllen]

I posted a thread yesterday about my corals being stressed out do to me adding a additional pump to my aquarium. Come to find out it was a double whammy. My 6 line wrasse died some how. He was eating the last couple of days and fat. The only thing that make since to me is that my clown goby bullied him to death. My clown goby is unusually bold and is always front in center of the tank looking at me and is a greety eater. I witnessed him chasing my 6 line a couple of times. Now with all that said in addition to a new pump my corals had to indure a day long beating of dead fish toxins to. Not to mention I had to remove almost all the rock to find the dead fish ( thats how I found out he was dead and not hiding). My xenia looks nasty :sick ; all gray and shriveled up. Everything else is closed tightly- shrooms,zoas,polys. This morning I did a 4 1/2 gallon water change with RO/DI saltwater (My tank is a Bio Cube 29, with the main display only really holding 20g or so) Hopefully everything pulls through. All the corals seem to be withstanding except the xenia >_< Any advice other than the water change ive already done. I figure I will wait and see what happens.

:blink Ray

Xenia is sensitive to fluctuation of I think it's ph or alkalinity swings. I can't remember which. Also xenia has a tendency to look funky for a few days and then it can completely turn around and be growing like mad.

More than anything im just venting, lol. I will keep a close eye on the aquarium and im sure it will be ok.

Yeah, watch that Xenia. It is toxic when it goes. I have a bold clown goby too - but he can't possibly keep up with my 6 line. Also, if you have SPS, your goby may/will kill parts of it where they "sit" on it.

I am sorry to hear about your sixline. I have one that I put in my 100 gallon makeshift tank to try to kill the hundreds of bristles I was seeing. In a month, its knocked them out where I dont see them during the day. It is a very neat fish to watch. Hope your corals recover.

Thank you, I may try another later on down the road when my pod population is vast and I can observe my goby to make sure he isnt a bully.
