Clown goby with SPS...

[Terryz_]

Hi, anybody have experiences with Gobiodon albofasciatus and Gobiodon unicolor in a tank with SPS... I am quite interested in them but i have a small amount of sps in my tank... Would they cause any major problem with the sps?

I know some of the clown goby have a problem with sps as they will nip at the polyps and stressing the coral... and clear the tissue?


Thanks...

I had two yellow that I just removed them, messed with my acros, keep the polyps closed. Made two of my frags bleach. I saw them nipping.

I've heard mixed results, you might find better feedback in the SPS forum.

The only SPS I have in the presence of my yellow clown is a green millepora, monti digi and a pink bird's nest. He hasn't bothered anything.

Ditto, I had the exact same experience. It bugged the heck out of my SPS, until I caught it and put it in the sump.
