Nice gobies! I have heard that clown gobies can have a tendency to nip at sps. Does any one have first hand experience with that?

Here's my orange diamond. Eats anything and everything I feed.

Yes; In the wild, Clown gobies eat acropora mucous. In order to do so, they pick at the corals until they irritate it enough to produce mucous and then they consume the mucous. While it is generally accepted that if the SPS colony is large enough and the fish are well enough fed, it should not cause too much damage to your corals, there are horror stories of entire SPS dominated tanks being decimated by Yellow Clown gobies. Be warned!

Gobies deserve more love than that!

Just added a pair of hi fin redbanded gobies yesterday morning. They are still hiding in a cave I added just for them. Pics once they show will be posted HERE, and hopefully gobies can get some more love!
