Diamond Watchman Goby ?

[FishPharm]

Can I introduce a Diamond Watchman Goby into an established sps tank which already houses my Flame Angel and Coral Beauty. Both dwarfs have been in display for about 4 months. They are excellent reef citizens, they don't nip at any of my corals or clam mantles.

I added the angels last in the order, because they would be the most aggressive of the other 12 peaceful tankmates. Now I have my eyes set on this goby and would really like to add it to the community. Do you think the goby will be ok?

Thanx

Yea adding the goby should def. not be a problem. I just introduced another one to my sps and lps tank. The only thing they do sometime is make a mess with the sand, like if they work really hard and if it is by a tunze, the tunze might pick some up and make a little sand storm...

But with that said I have 2 tunzes and 2 diamonds....

The angelfish likely won't bother the goby, because it is a bottom-dweller that looks and acts nothing like them. As long as you have the room in your tank and don't have other fish which may be incompatible (like similar gobies, which often would pick a fight with the newcomer), the diamond goby will be just fine. Just be aware that they can cause particles from the sand to cloud up the tank, as said above.
