will Citrinis Clown Gobys kill sps or do they just annoy them?

I will never put another one in a tank with sps.

did it kill your sps?

I had a thread in the sps forum.

They did not kill the colonies, but would kill patches, as well as bother the corals enough that is severly limited the growth.

I first thought it was due to having male and females, and breeding, but after going down to just one in the tank, the problems did not go away.

After removing the last, I had much more polyp extension onver night! as well as a noticable increase in growth.
