Uhhh...Justin...........

You do know that clown gobies can do some serious damage to SPS, right?  I'm not sure what you have along the lines of SPS, but they've been known to irritate, nest in, and sometimes eat the coral's polyps.  It seems they only do this when laying eggs...but various people have had varying experiences.  There've been a lot of posts on RC about the damage they've done.

In the picture with all the salt creep on the glass, it appears the only SPS are Monti species. It has been my experience that these gobies are more fond of Acros & clones (branching types). I've also seen them sit on and in branching or tree like soft corals like sinularia & relatives. I think that mostly, clown gobies cause damage to corals when they are spawning, they clean off an area to deposit eggs which would include removing the tissue and polyps from the coral they are hiding in.

all right thats it mr salt creep when i go to work tomorrow im taking pics of all the salt creep all over the shop and posting it. But of course I will have to clean it up afterward cause i guess im designated fish tank cleaner at the shop. Oh yeah thanks for the info didnt know that such a shame clown gobies are so cool  ;D

Yeah, I didn't see any Acros in his tank...but figured I'd forewarn him.  Also, clown gobies and similar species also like to eat small shrimp...like sexy shrimp...just fyi. 

Justin, the tank looks great.  :)

Nice looking tank, looks like you have quite a few fish.  Wonder if I can pull off a hippo and yellow tang in my 90
