I have a green clown goby and I’m wondering if he will be okay in a 28 gallon tank with 2 clownfish, 3 anemones, a starfish, and a blenny for a couple days. He’s usually in a 12 gallon tank by himself but I just got a small snowflake eel who is currently in that tank while my 75 gallon tank gets going. The snowflake eel is refusing to eat anything but keeps going after my goby that usually hides and I never see him. I didn’t think it would be a problem because the eel is very tiny but I was obviously wrong. Any advice?
 
Well, between taking the chances with an eel vs the other tank inhabitants, I'd take the non-eel option. Staying with the eel is going to result in him becoming dinner. Hopefully he doesn't decide to sit on top of one of the anemones, though.

My clowns would be fine with it but I can’t speak for yours. As long as the anemones are not taking up the whole tank, it should be fine I would think

+1.. I agree with the comment above. Clownfish are territorial and most aggressive with other clowns. If the anemones don't cover most of the tank, it'll be ok. Or... If possible, get a cheap acclimation box, hang it on the 28g, and keep the goby there, if it's only for a couple of days.
