oh some information to pass on... there are two types that commonly are called clown gobies. There is the Gobiodon citrinus "citron/clown gobie" and the Gobiodon okinawae "yellow coral gobie" ***** to correct me from my last post I do not have the clown I have the yellow coral I is the one that J&L calls the yellow clown *****. At the bottom there are two links to images of the two types. I have searched to find out if one of the two types will tend to eat acros more then the other. But I have not found any article with that kind of information. I do know that they both like meaty foods. Could it be possible that they nip at acros to make the nest?

Kris, I beleive the one we are refering to is the Gobiodon okinawae from j&l. I do understand they will remove the polyps from an acro head were it plans to nest. My experience though is the goby picking at any polyps it wants. I do only have one of these particular gobies so their also would be no reason for it to make a nesting area. Perhaps it's a fish that would be better off trained or to make sure it's eating prepared food prior to welcoming them into a sps dominated system. I geuss we should be happy their small though 8)

Thats funny. I bet you couldn't beleive your eyes. I have a goby that would go in the over flow and end up in the sump. I would take it out then put it back in the main tank. Then a couple days later it was back in the sump. I got tired of bringing him back up,so I left him. Again a couple days later he was back in the main tank. I couldn't beleive it. That was right around the time I felt all the talk about pumps not being plankton freindly was bs. 8) On a side note though he never went back to the sump. The impeller must have gave him one hell of a smack in the tail fin.

Now I'm really woried! So I have a yellow Coral goby, purchased from J&L little over 1 month ago. He is still in my QT tank with a Black clown goby and a Sixline Wrasse and a Gold Rim Tang. Tang has ick and I'm not sure if he is gona make it.
So is the Yellow Coral the one that will eat the acros? He has been eating in the QT tank, both brine shrimp and mysis. My wife loves these guys thats why we got another yellow one. Had one in my 33 last year, he lives for 8 months, before a pump got him. What about the solid black ones? Got one from J&L and got one from Darren. Are they just as bad? Maybe the Yellow Coral will not make it to the 120g. Lee

ldzielak,
I don't have the black. So I'm not sure. I've seen them in others tanks and have never heard anything bad about them but I could be wrong anyone? For the yellow is their enough light on the QT for a couple of acro's for a test? Even for a day it would be ok for the coral and I'm sure you'd see what characteristics the goby had. Oh I geuss if it's a QT there's a good chance theirs meds in it. There goes that idea. Did you have acro's in the 33?
