I recently released a few more anthias and gudgeon gobies into the reef. Here are two of the six gobies. The new fish were bathed in Safety Stop last Saturday and then placed in the Peacemaker for a few days - my usual procedure.

And then last night in total darkness I spied the tiger cowrie on the front glass, so I had to get a few pictures. These came out pretty nice considering I was shooting in the dark.

Well, they don't burrow but they find a tiny hole and hide there as a group. Then they come out in succession, and retreat in the same order. It's only been a couple of days, but I'm hoping to see them out in the open soon.

I think you are both talking about different things. Maybe cyano was talking about the tiger cowrie???

I was referring to the fish because I had read "The Lyretail Blue Gudgeon Dartfish should be housed in a 30-gallon or larger aquarium with plenty of loose coral rubble, and requires ample swimming room with a sand bottom for burrowing. It may try to jump out of the aquarium or other small opening, so a tight-fitting lid is required." that is why I was curious.

I've only had them in the 280g and 400g and they tend to stay very low in the tank. I've never had any issue with jumpers.
