Question on sps

[drato11]

Hi all, just bought a staghorn yest. Newbie in sps.

I have a Golden Clown Goby that always rest on the staghorn. Used to rest on other LPS, but since i intro the staghorn, it's been resting on it!

Anyone can advice if this will stress or kill the sps? Should I remove the clown goby?

this is the pic of the clown goby taken some time back.

Thanks in advance!

Clown goby is used to SPS in their nature environment which is why it has moved to your new staghorn.

You need to monitor closely your staghorn and the goby behaviour. If it start to bite or disturb the staghorn preventing the polyp extension, try and remove the goby ASAP.

I have seen some clown goby living happily with SPS. Usually in a tank with quite a fair bit, coz they can move about the SPSs.

hey Thomas, thanks for the advice.

Anyway, I removed the gobies oredi just in case. Find them so cute when they rest on LPS, but so uneasy when i see them "sit" on the sps the whole day!

No problem. I used to keept 2 as well. Given them to Simon when they start to "attack" my SPS as well.

Enjoy your new SPS hobby. Cheers!!!
