![]() Clown gobies are perchers that live on colonies of SPS in the wild. They snuggle in and nuzzle up. I have never seen one do any damage to SPS. Then again, I had a blenny that ended up eating my clams.

![]() Is there any possibility of pods or parasites on the SPS that they are going after?
They are usually compatible but nothing is ever set in stone ![]() |

![]() If they are a mated pair they could be clearing a space to lay eggs.
On the other hand they could be like my yellow clown goby and will be just having a light lunch... saving room for a big dinner of acropora tissue ![]() |

![]() I lost a colony in my 20G that my CG perched on all the time, but I NEVER saw him nipping at it... So I don't think the loss of the colony had anything to do with the CG... but I could be wrong.. I think it was just a case of STN.

![]() I'd watch them. They may just clear a small area and leave it at that. If the coral is big enough, it should be fine.
