What do your clown gobies eat?
 
I picked up 4 clown gobies 3 days ago - 1 yellow, 1 red, and 2 green. The yellow eats everything I throw in the tank; mysis, brine shrimp, cyclopeeze and even flakes. The other 3 haven't shown any interest in eating at all so I'm just wondering if anyone has experience with these fish and what do you feed them?

they are as bad as tangs and big angels for going on hunger strikes sometimes....they dont move well......try soaking your food in garlic

I made the mistake of adding a yellow clown goby as the person at the lfs said it wouldnt touch my sps and would only hurt them if I had a pair of them and they laid eggs on the base of the sps. Err.. Wrong! The day after I put it in the tank, I saw it nip at all my sps on the frag rack. Lucky I was able to catch it and I gave it away.

Funny.
I have a pair that's been in the tank for over a year now...full reef, sps dominated, and no problems with chomping on my polyps.
I also have a pair of greens, they all eat flakes, pallets, mysis, bloodworms, Cyclopease, and various Acan Plus type powdered food for LPS.

I had a green that would host in my toadstool and then elegance. It was a little too aggressive with the elegance so I had to give it away but it would eat flake, pellet, and mysis.
