My yellow goby loves to rest on my scoly. Is it something that would irritate the scoly and I should worry about? The goby has not picked on my scoly yet.

I wouldn't worry; a clown goby being a clown. Mine does it regularly as does my long nosed hawkfish and I've never seen any damage over the years.
 
The coral will probably get used to it pretty quickly, if it's bothered at all. I had a clown goby that liked to sit on a dragon soul favia, and the favia didn't care.

Clown gobies may pick at SPS, but they don't bite scolys.
 
Thanks guys. I'll stop worrying about this then
