Scoly and clown goby

[hdelgado]

Love this little guy, he has so much character, but should I be worried that he is always perching on my scoly’s? Any of you have complications with corals in the past cause of this fish?
My Scolies haven’t showed any sign of stress and if anything are looking quite plump lately, but has anyone had any bad experience ??

Nah their good. Wierd how nature works. The coral can sense the shrimp or crab or fish or other coral. Yes they touch. Yes they retract. However 2mins later after touching and parting ways the coral inflates again normally and is unharmed.
If a rock fell and crushed the corals skeleton that would be diffrent.

Remember. Theyre in water and that fish dosent way anything if anything. Its literally just floating on top ur coral. Barely resting.
