I just purcahsed this fish for my BC29 Nano. For those who own this fish what have you found they prefer to eat?

Your corals!

Huh, Clown Goby dont eat corals. People put them in reefs all the time. They are considered reef safe.

Most of the time they are OK, but if you have SPS corals they will nest in them, and mine even nipped my SPS polyps.

I have all softies and LPS. Im going to feed him Mysis and krill and hope all is well.

W/ softies you're cool, my YCG was a model citizen.
As soon as I added sps, he became a polyp eating machine.
Had to go.
I've seen others w/ the same exp.

When I had a yellow clown goby, I was feeding it cyclopleeze and mysis shrimp.

Good Luck

Mine nest and even lay eggs in a montipora but do it no harm.
They eat anything. Start with cyclopeez if they are picky at first, then frozen adult brine shrimp.
