Brianemone Posted September 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 would the nesting be an issue if there is only one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I don't know for sure, but I still think that they live in them, which stresses them until they die. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted September 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 in the wild would this stress be reduced by the size of the sps or the amount availabile to the gobys to swap from one to the other? or do they kill the sps in the wild to?

lduncan Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Not too sure, but i think the the size, and availability would play a role, plus the fact that any coral is more likely to be stressed already in an aquarium, as opposed to it's natural environment.
