A little fish with a huge ego..

[BestMomEver]

I have a little yellow goby that has a huge ego. So much so that he places himself in the most “showy” of places. He’s got to be high up, front and center. Guess where that is? You got it! In, under, around and perched on top of my acro babies. I’m afraid he will pester them to death. Will he or will the acros ignore him or even benefit from his presence? Sometimes he even sits on top of a red shroom. Lordy be...

Yellow Clown Goby? They can definitely irritate branching SPS corals to the point of tissue necrosis.

Yes... yellow clown. Little pisser! What can I do? I’ll never catch him. He’s so cute though!

Clown gobies are cool, attractive, peaceful, easy to keep... and yes, they'll stress out your corals.

I'll never own another one.

Step one is figure out if you want to keep it or not, seems like you're still deciding

You could try making him a new place to sit

What kind of place? He seems to like one particular coral. And, yes, I would re-home him if I could catch the little sucker!

A dead coral. My lfs throws their dead coral in with the live rock abs I picked up a bunch back in the day for pretty seahorse hitches.
