Clown Goby hosting in Hammer?

[Jimbo Bucket]

I keep finding one of my yellow clown gobys head first in a hammer coral.
Does it think its a clown and this is an anemone?
The first time I noticed it, I thought it was dead.
Has anyone else seen this behavior in a clown goby?
I have a pair of yellows, I've never seen them both in there......

Wow !! Thats a good shot ! Well, clown gobies love to hide amongst small caves & sandbeds .. maybe he found a comfortable spot in your hammer !! Shouldnt be problamatic, as long as hes not irritating your coral all is fine !! I suggest to keep an eye on him though :) hes so cute !!!

Yes, I have had multiple over the years and they have all associated with euphyllia.

Clown gobies like any corals with branches.
