thumpersalley Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I just got him today, hes so small. I looked on another forum to get some info but wanted to ask here too. Anyone have one that can give me some more input into likes, dislikes & other "stuff" ? Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilmca Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I've had these fish in the past and I really like their behavior but they will perch on corals causing them not to open if they have polyps. I've also heard they'll nip at SPS polyps but when i had them i didn't have any SPS so i can't confirm that. The pair I had ate flake, mysis, brine, daphnia and cyclopeze. At one time i had a pair of green and yellow clown gobies and like I said they were great fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumpersalley Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Thanks! Thanks for the info. I have really come to enjoy the gobies & similar fish. My favorite fish is my pearly jawfish, hes got more personality than I ever thought a fish could have! Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradth Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I brought home a green one and that was the last time I saw him. Had some yellows and the first two did good until marine velvet wiped out most of my tank. Second two decided to commit suicide by getting sucked into my korilias. They are cute little buggers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I had a couple of green clown gobies at separate times that just seemed to vanish also. Later I tried again when I had a larger tank with some sps corals and bright lighting. That little guy responded very well and was always a fun show hanging out on the stony corals. The latest one had also been added to a full tank of fish and fit right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannedmulder Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 I had 2 at one time. Both hung out together and they were very cute until one day I couldn't find one. Found out he swam down into the sump. I had no way of covering those openings on my previous tank. I put him back and he just disappeared. My other one hung around for a while and loved to live in my xenia. I had a forest going on and he would love to swim through it! One day I couldn't find him either! Great personallity!!!

MedRed Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I have a green clown goby. I've read a few horror stories about them destroying SPS colonies. mine may have to go before I add any sps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectra Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 They are neat fish but yes they will nip at polyps on SPS. I had 2 yellow ones and had to get rid of them as they would perch on my sps and nip at the polyps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
