Sea horses and cleaner gobies

[Moort82]

Would sea horses benefit from a cleaner goby or two in their tank?

SH don't really appreciate being groomed, it tends to stress them. that being said, IME w/neon gobies is that they set up a cleaning station, but only clean fish that signal them that they want to be cleaned.

so...the gobies are fine with the SH, but the gobies may never clean them.

Thanks i knew the gobies would be ok as tank mates but didn't know horses don't like to be groomed. Was just thinking they would be a better option than my cleaners, which are going as they will steal the food and boss the tank.
