i've heard the yellow citron ones are way worse than the green ones.

i wouldn't mind if it just sat on a coral, but nipping at it and killing sections is a whole different story....

my friend & co-worker had a small green one, she has a 65g FULL of sps and the goby started chowing down on a rose milli. She tried and tried to catch him but never did. A month later with a badly injured milli, she found the goby ended up going through one her powerhead's...
