Should I Be Worried?

[Opcn]

So I have a hectors goby that is digging a burrow (I didn't even know they dug burrows, I thought they just sifted sand for algea) anyways hes digging it under my long tenticled plate coral, I'm a bit afraid that one of these days it will eat him, since hes so small and is on the large side of things (3 inches across)

Any comments or sugestions wold be more than welcome

I think you wil find he will be ok. These fish are pretty smart and know the dangers. I doubt a plating coral would have the reflexes, strength and speed to catch a healthy goby.

This is a bit of n old topic, and they both died, but it wasn't a plating coral it was a plate coral, they are different, and plate corals do eat zooplankton.

Thoughts:
Gobies and blennies I think are NOT as hardy as many of us think.

Corals CAN eat fish. My friend had a bubble coral completely eat and digest one of his fish.
