I think this little critter might be your polyp extension problem. I suspect the very slight increase in noticing polyps recently might be due to the accelerated growth or the improved health of your corals... and so they can 'catch up' with it... but Clown gobies EAT SPS polyps.

I am wondering if anyone else can chime in about this?

I have personally kept a clown goby and from purchase time to 2 weeks later, I had 6 SPS colonies without polyps, so I promptly removed him and polyps came back.

Just thought I would throw this in there. I have not read the full thread yet, just got to this piture and scanned through the rest to see if your polyps increased... but great review!

Thanks & Cheers,

Chris
I had basically the same experience with my clown gobby. He nearly killed several very healthy SPS colonies before I figured out what was going on. I moved him to the sump and things slowly returned to normal.
