clown Gobies: stressful to SPSs?

[LouH]

I recently added three clown gobies to my tank. They like to hop from one Acro to another, and at times they will sit on a branch for an extended period. I have an A. Millipora that had great polyp extension until the gobies started interacting with it. Can this result in the death of my Milli? I have a clown that uses a big Dersa as a surrogate anemone, and the Dersa is doing just fine.

I LOVE those little buggers but hats exactly why i didnt add them to my new reef tank. I used to have two in my old tank and they would sit in the same spots on my sps( what they are known for) and kill the spots, eventually leading to some colony deaths

Not exactly what I wanted to hear. Maybe I can net them and place them in the soft coral tank.
