yellow clown gobies

[reefman]

Does anyone have 1 or more of these in a 90 or larger reef with sps shrimps and clams. I'm getting mix feedbacks if they are a good addition. I would like to add 3 to 5 if possible.

I had one and a citron as well, yellow became anemone food somehow but citron is good, All I have is shrimp in your list tho, my lighting is not good enough for SPS or clams. I have a small frag of Monti digi no prob with it yet.

Some people have had problems where the gobies has hurt sps corals as they like to sit on top of them.

don't do it.
I had one. it was not the sitting on the coral that hurt the coral, it was the nipping of the coral polyps. one was bad enough, five would be a nightmare in a tank with acropora. it was too bad, they are really cute fish.

I have two clown gobies in my 75, a green one and a wierd little one I got as a hitchhiker, and neither one has been a problem with my SPS. They pick pods off the glass and go nuts for cyclopeze.

I think they are hit and miss - and all owners should decide (like always) if they want to take a chance. Most articles I see says the SPS will grow back and not die off, but that's a chance the aquarists must decide for themselves.
