OK, I admit that I am quite new in this hobby. My first marine tank has been up for only 4 months. But even so, this seems a bit strange:
I purchased an Oscellaris (juvenile, about 1.5 inches) and a Yellow Watchman Goby (juvenile, about 2 inches) this weekend. Both have acclimated well.. perhaps too well. After a couple of days in the tank, the Clown has discovered the goby, and REALLY likes it. He is almost always at the Goby's side, within 2 inches or closer, frequently doing a little shimmy dance, but occasionally laying himself completely onto the Goby, as if it were a bed. The Goby is not amused. He appears to barely tolerate the clowns behavior, and occasionaly will take a nip at the clown, as if in frustration. "Get the f.... off me you orange freak!"
Don't get me wrong, its quite amusing, but I want to know if it is normal, or is this the fish love that dare not speak its name.
