    Which Clown Goby is the best for housing in a tank with all SPS corals?
    Could more than one be kept in a 375 Gallon Tank without issue?

    I'm pretty sure that all Clown Gobies irritate SPS's :-/

    Not sure about if you can have more than one, but I would imagine that in a tank that size, they should be fine. I'll let someone else chime in, though ;)

    I have a "Citrus" clown goby (no idea if that's what they're actually called, that's just what it was labeled at my LFS) that hasn't touched the Acro I threw in the tank about a month ago - at least, as far as I can tell. From what I've heard, it's hit and miss with clown gobies.

    As far as keeping more than one in a 375, I can't imagine that being an issue, but don't take that as gospel.
