Description
The Clown Goby, also known as the Yellow Clown Goby, is a small, brightly colored saltwater fish. It is popular in the aquarium trade due to its vibrant color, small size, and unique personality. It is a peaceful fish, making it a good choice for community aquariums.
Reef Safe
Yes, Clown Gobies are considered reef safe. However, they have been known to nip at small-polyped stony coral and some soft coral.
Environment
Clown Gobies prefer a well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and plenty of space for swimming. They can tolerate a range of water conditions, but do best in clean, well-filtered water.
Behavior
Clown Gobies are known for their peaceful and somewhat shy nature. They are not aggressive and tend to hide in rockwork or among coral. They are also known to form symbiotic relationships with certain types of coral.

Tried two times and both times disappeared and assuming gotten eaten by my bubble tip anemone. Not very smart. Too expensive to be used as food for my BTA. Love the guy otherwise so fun to watch and yellow really pops.

This little fish likes to perch on to corals. They can be harmful to sps coral, as it could pick on the sps consuming some polyps. They can also perch on leather corals. Would not recommend in a sps dominant tank, unless you want to take the risk of this fish picking on the sps. It has a big personality for a small fish and is not afraid of other bigger fish. This fish is peaceful with many other fish, but would not recommend with the same species unless they are partners.

Always out and about. Loves to perch on corals. Not reef safe with sps. Very very small ...
