Default 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?

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.
