My Citrone Clown Goby is SUPER active?

[AnxiousReefEnjoyer]

Question for fellow goby keepers — has anyone had a Citrone Clown Goby that’s unusually active? Everything I’ve read says they’re mostly perch-and-chill fish or cryptic, but mine is constantly moving and cruising the tank. Water parameters are stable and tankmates are peaceful. Is this just individual personality, or have others seen this too?

He/she keeps perching on the glass, swimming against the return flow and trying different rocks. When first introduced (over a week ago) it liked my copepod rubble pile but now it's a drifter.

I have a little goby that looks a lot like yours. Could be the same type. He is rather chill for the most part. I believe mine is a black clown goby though.

It sounds normal to me, mine does everything you described. Its much more active than my black and green clown gobies.

They can be and tend to hide i various places and respond to feeding generally well.

Not a citron, but I have a Yellow Clown Goby and he is both a percher and active fish. Interestingly, by far he is the master of searching around every little nook and cranny finding food that all the rest missed.
