Clown Goby, Citrinis

Hey Everyone.. I am planning my livestock for my tank. Its currently undergoing its cycle. I have a 24g nano. Its going to be a reef tank. So going to have 2 clowns as was thinking about getting a clown goby.. i am still learning so have read some on the internet about them. Seem pretty easy to care for. just looking for some 3reef feedback.. Anything i need to know? thanks again..

 

The biggy for me was that is reported that they eat sps polyps. I personally never saw this but I can believe it.

Other than that and the fact they tend to hide and are not be big swimmers they are the ideal fish for nanos. They love to perch on corals and clams.


I had mine for 2 years and I would go months without seeing the little bugger.

 

really easy to take care of will eat most food. if its small it will have trouble with pellet food cuz it wont fit in there mouth but you can use mysis or garlic soaked brine and they will go crazy for it

 

Awesome Info. Thanks everyone. Now I just need to find one. Seems to be a tough fish to find.

 

Good job on doing the research before the purchase. I wish everyone would follow that example.

I've had one in my reef for almost a year, and have had no problems with him nipping at corals. By far one of my favorite fish!

 

Thanks Corailine... I have made mistakes in the past expensive ones.. Never again.

I got the pic from there.. They don't have any in stock right now from any of there sources so on the email wait list. Might contact my LFS see if they can source one.
