Maybe it's just me then. I'd love to fatten mine up, but if it's any bigger than a pin head, it'll spit it right back out and go back into hiding. It didn't look its best when I got him, and I had high hopes of making him healthy....Maybe I'll give up on clowns if this one goes as well.
He just looks like he's wasting away. I have to sit there grinding the mysis down to a pulp just so that the clown will eat the tiny specks. Maybe I'll keep him in a specimen cup for a few weeks just to try to target feed him.
what do you guys think?
I'd rather stay away from brine shrimp...I guess I could soak them in some vitamins as a last resort.
I've heard that clown gobies nibble on polyps once in a while during spawning time, but no real damage.

spawning is when they really do damage (they lay their eggs on acro branches), but probably not much of a concern in a typical tank. aznimpulse-- do try some vitamin soaked brine shrimp. It's what got mine eating. Once he fattened up a bit he started eating anything I put in the tank.

I just might have to... I just hope that this one doesn't grow a taste for just brine shrimp, and nothing else like my last one.
