Don't buy a citron clown goby if you cherish your SPS colonies:

Luckily he was easy to capture. I should have done more research on him before my purchase; oh, the risks we take in reefing!

I've heard that about the clown gobies. In nature I think they have a somewhat symbiotic relationship with SPS. They feed on the mucus and keep pests off. In a reef tank, I've heard they eat your coral.

I've got a yellow clown goby that lays on my SPS right now. Haven't seen him feeding on them but he defiantly bugs them, luckily he only does this on one of mine.
