Genus
Common name: Clown Gobies
Scientific name: Gobiodon
Gobiodon is a genus of small, brightly colored gobies often found in coral reefs. These fish are known for their symbiotic relationships with branching corals like Acropora, which provide them with shelter and protection. In return, the gobies may help to keep the coral free from parasites and algae. They are peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive tank mates. Clown Gobies are hardy and suitable for nano reefs due to their small size, but they require stable water conditions and a well-established tank with live rock for hiding and grazing.
