Clown goby has red spots.. help!

[MANDAMARIE]

My yellow clown goby all of a sudden has red spots. What's going on?

Any crabs in the tank? I used to keep arrow crabs and I've watched them grab perfectly healthy clown gobies. The gobies would manage to get away but not before the crab caused damage that look just like this.

Looks like injury to me.

What is in your tank; only a blood shrimp and the goby?

Something seems to have snagged him or he got stuck somewhere and got scratched up.

Clown goby, clown fish and blood shrimp

Clown fish are extremely territorial. They are very aggressive and downright nasty. I wouldn't be surprised if the clown was injuring it. I just had a pair of clowns kill off a puffer on me.

Soooo now that you say that my poor little black clown died a week before my goby but they always swam together so not sure when they could have got aggressive? I guess at night?
