I see why its called a Sea Goblin.Its one ugly mofo.
Sorry no experience with them,good luck though.

never even heard of it until today. good luck, a nice photo journal would be appreciated of course!

 

[Doc]

wow. that is f&%king ugly. Your tank, your fish - go for it. Glad you like it, someone needs to love it, just don't love it too close or you might get hurt!!!

[Bifferwine]

Never had one either. Sorry.

 

[bri74]

[bri74]

got home and picked up the sea goblin and he is very cool he walks all over the bottom of the tank with his four little legs and swims when necessary like when the snowflake eel chases it around and it is extremely quick. I put some pics up

 

[Alexander]

[bri74]

ok got them up now

 

[reeffreak]

I totally almost missed your pics Bri.Yep,its really odd looking creature.
Congrats,I hope it does well.

dang! that thing would scare my kids and they would never get around my tank again. hmm. that's one way to keep the little nose and fingerprints off the glass.

 

[Alexander]

[reeffreak]

In Bri's photo gallery.

 

[Alexander]

[Doc]

If you guys go to liveaquaria.com there is a really good pic of it with his wings spread it looks really neat my kids like it I thought they wouldnt but it just sits at the bottom all day and walks around the kids are fascinated with it. I will try to get some better pics though.

Thought Id give an update.. The goblin is doing terrific he and the lionfish are best pals. The only prob is its been about 2 months now and he still only eats live food. Wont touch anything already dead.
