![]() real quick question. Do clown gobies really need SPS in their diet? Or can they survive well on just NLS pellet and mysis?

![]() This is just my experience...but my Mom has had her yellow clown goby for 2.5+ years and it eats only a mix of frozen foods with vitamins, and flakes..it doesn't touch pellets...and it is healthy and bright.

![]() I was under the impression that they don't actually eat SPS, they just use them for shelter and hanging out. The only time they "eat" SPS is when they're clearing off a spot to lay eggs.

![]() I have to stop judging threads by the title...was gonna say no, you can't live off a diet of clown gobies
![]() But ya, as Christy mentioned, pretty sure they just clear tissue to lay their eggs, they don't eat the coral.

![]() As far as I know Christy is right. I have a green clown goby and he eats small pellets and mysis. He also hangs/hides out in my yellow tree coral, since I can't grow sps worth a darn!

![]() lol brad, got sushi on the mind?
hmm, Im certain I had read that clown gobies live off of and live on SPS... I believe it was on wetweb. Ah well, its a non-issue as this tank won't have SPS. I just wanted to hear that they don't need SPS to live. I will try pellet, selcon soaked mysis, and cyclopeeze. for the record, I went ahead and bought a green clown goby and a panda goby while i was at it ![]() |
