I’ve read that Elacatinus macrodon is communal like some people kee green banded gobies in groups. Is this true or is it just green banded gobies that can be kept together. Anyone have experience with keeping Elacatinus together?

Ive got a macrodon (zeebedee) and multifasciatus together currently, they’re not too bad however I have found the macrodon is more boisterous and will chase the multifasciatus away from his home.
I’ve not kept either species in groups long term, but in an LFS I have and generally there’s not a huge issue as they form a hierarchy.
 
I have tonnes of the genus in a 10g so it should be ok, it has been severely neglected for the past 2 weeks so almost all died and only the wild caught realy weird looking not so nice zoa survived for a coral, such a sad incident, and I left the tank with people who were highly experienced with freshwater, really sad to see so many fish and corals dead, the corals included a porite abt the size of ur hand
