is this normal clown goby behavior?

[hotelbravo]

I added this clown goby recently and it has stuck to the side of the glass all over the tank since day one. it has never went into the rocks or on any coral like i normally see them doing in photos..
ps- the white spot in the first pic is the glass not a spot on the goby itself.

Probably hosting the anemone. That's why it doesn't move far from the nennie.

well its moving all over the tank even away from the anemones. It is just sticking with the glass wherever it goes.

Maybe he enjoys looking at his reflection [emoji12]

My clown goby used to do this all the time. I wouldn't worry.

Had to put mine in the sump, it wanted to host my acans and kept nipping at it when open, when it started receeding because the goby wasn't letting it eat I scooped it. He now has run of my 150gal sump

They're shy at first , they're probably scouting a good place to hang out. I had one that lived behind the heater on a suction cup for 2 months before he got comfortable and moved to a montipora.
