Default goby/sps

I picked up a yellow clown goby last week and it took to this birdsnest colony. It offers great protection from the clowns, but it's kept on it's toes from the pair of porcelin crabs below.

The problem is that the colonies polyps have remained retracted due to the stimulation of the fish. Is it just the friction of the fish swimming around, or are there any known secretions from these fish? Either way, I would like to keep the goby, but don't want any SPS to suffer the consequenses. Any advice?

Rich.
