yellow clown goby

[flfireman1]

Anyone seen any yellow clown gobies at any of the LFS? Or for that matter a purple tang??? Or nice Gold Band Maroons?
Thanks

Up in boca they've always got some clown gobies around, but that's quite a drive.

If you're going to keep clown gobies be ready for them to perch on your corals, including and especially on SPS, which tend to irritate the SPS, but so is life.

I suggest using the LFS Finder to find a store near you, then call'em to see if they have any in stock.

Find an Aquarium Store near you

I'm going to assume the answers no...but are these guys good with a lot of flow? and are the sps safe as I've heard something about them not being sps safe.

They're not SPS safe as they like to perch on corals, especially SPS/acropora. When breeding, they will also tear the polyps out of a branch of acro that they want to make a nest in, making a big patch of no polyps, really stressing out the coral, but not usually killing it.
