lets Talk Acropora!!!!!!!

I agree with Chin, larger acro colonies are much better equipped to deal with clown gobies than frags or smaller colonies. I once had a clown goby with SPS and upon its removal I actually saw polyps where previously I had seen none. I've been clown goby free ever since.

the thing is its only the bigger one of the three, is there some sort of socail thing going on there??? preparing a nest???

I think you are missing the point. It sounds to me like clown gobies and acro's don't mix. If you want polyp extension out of your acros you will need to move all three clown gobies as they will likely pick at them as the mature.

well that sucks they are such a cool fish.

There's lots of other cool fish that go well with SPS.

like??? like small fish??? my only "small" fish are a saddle back clown and a red scooter dragonet

Try Eviota or Trimma gobies, Rainfordi or Hectors gobies. There are some real cool fairy wrasses that stay small. I have a yellow Assesor that has alot of personallity.....so do two spot blennies.
