Clownfish all over goby.....

[Mike in CT]

Hi everyone.
I have a pair of ocellaris clowns in my 20 G. quarantine tank that also
has a Randall's goby in it. They have all been in there for 2 weeks now.
Recently the female clown hangs all over the goby...just about laying on top of
it, especially at feeding time. I have not noticed any nipping either way at this
time. Is this a territorial thing going on?? The goby looks pretty annoyed (well he
always looks annoyed..lol) but not really stressed so far.

Anyone experience this before?

Thanks,
Mike

Is the Goby hosting her?

It kind of looks like that, but it seems to happen mostly when I am feeding them.
Poor goby hardly seems to get any food anyway (more from shyness then it not
being available) now the clown grabs the few morsels that come close enough for the
goby eat without straying to to far from its hiding spot.

That would be the weirdest thing I've heard today. Any chance of a pic? Clowns hosting a Goby.?
