Hi.
I recently got a yellow clown goby and it has been doing really well(still in qt). My question is will it be safe for me to buy a cyphastrea while the goby is still in qt and introduced the goby a week later? Will the goby eat/irritate it?

clown goby perches on corals, so it may or may not perch on your new coral. I have 3 of them in my tank, they just sit around on corals but otherwise don't bother them.

Goby should not. Their preference is to nestle on acro and while they may land on the coral, they will likely not stay on it long
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
