experience with clown gobies?

[Pallen81]

Anyone have any experience with Clown Gobies?

I was looking at the Green and Yellow varieties. Their colors are nice and from what i've read they seem to be good community fish in smaller sized tanks.

IS THIS TRUE? What are they really like? Thanks!

they are very nice little nano fish, but i've seen some of them be super hiders....

they need branching corals or rock to feel comfortable. and tend to get eaten a lot so they cant be kept with aggressive tank mates.

They're so tiny but some of them are cool looking. I'm buying 1-2 from Drs. Foster and Smith in the very near future to go into one of my refugiums. Let me know if you purchase any and how you like them!

I have a yellow clown goby. Absolutely 1 of my favorites. My avatar is a pic of mine (Syd).

Great avatar! Yeah they seem pretty mellow. Are they personable?

Mine comes up to the glass all the time. I would like to think he is looking for me but I'm sure he equates me with food.

yeah great fish but i hear that they can be a little difficult to start feeding. that true? if not i'm so getting a few.

Mine ate from the minute I put him in the tank. He perches on any available surface in the tank. I just started sps and he isn't quite sure of them yet. He loves the candycanes, thought.
