Reef B: A Black-Capped Basslet rec'd on Jul 3rd. At first it hid behind the reef for several hours. Today it readily took Formula One flakes.
They constantly seem to want to make contact. When one wonders off it always makes it back to its mate in a very short time. BTW this pair did not come in as a pair on July 3rd.
Reef A: Neon Goby pair exploring a cave perhaps as a future site for a nest. They have not been interested in food just courtship (or so it appears).

Neon gobies arrived today. Their behavior would seem to indicate that they are a potential breeding pair. They are constantly together, often rubbing each other and crossing their bodies. They are slightly behind the Pagoda coral (which resemble the coral heads they occupay in the Caribbean).
In the center is the Endive Hydnophora showing growth.
