How to tell the sex of a Pink Watchmen Goby?
Also how to tell if a pair of Circus gobies are mates or just friends?

I feel like the Circus gobies may actually be a pair if they're already coexisting nicely. Google's a great tool otherwise :gay1:

Thanks young reefer, I guess I could just ask them?

On WetWebMedia Anthonly Calfo mentioned this about Cryptocentrus Cinctus (the yellow watchman), maybe some of it will carry over to yours, being different species it might not be the same but it might be something to go on to begin with anyway.
It doesn't sound easy, good luck.

not that difficult... males really do tend to me more colorful (sharper yellow and more blue spots) but more importantly... they have thicker lips (fighting/digging), a larger buccal cavity (chin pouch) and the first hard rays of the first dorsal fin are somewhat exaggerated (taller/spikier)

Based on that, Id say I have a male?

I can't tell hehe, I would probably have to compare it to a bunch of other pictures.
