Do you mean Amblygobius phalaena? If so then they’re beautiful however I don’t know of any goby that can pick up a coral and use it as a home. Normally they just use small rocks and sand to make homes in.

do you have an urchin?

Sharkbait19 · Mar 30, 2022

A pistol shrimp could easily do that.
That is funny, especially if it was the goby!

My diamond goby has taken frags abs moved a ton of Mia corals. I actually caught him doing it a few times lol

It is just cutting the grass for you.

If my frags aren’t glued my diamond goby takes or digs up if it’s in the sand bed lol!
He also dug a hole in the sand under one of my large frag plugs by my glass and I can see his burrow it’s pretty cool! He goes in at night and closes the hole so nothing bothers him at night and during the day he’s out and about but closes it so nothing gets in

Mine just turns everything white with sand. I'm sure he thinks it's Christmas

That would be it.

You’d be surprised what a pistol shrimp can do!

They normally won’t use coral to make their homes, unless it’s a piece that’s fallen right next to their home (Like ontop of it) they wouldn’t move it.

The urchin however, if they had their mind to it they could.

My urchin likes to carry my shrimps molts around on top of its head
