Saltwater Fish
Yellow Clown Goby.
A tiny lemon-yellow goby that perches in the branches of corals like a little ornament. Peaceful, reef-safe, and beginner-friendly — perfect for nano reefs; it'll happily settle into a 10-gallon-plus tank with rock or coral to roost in.

Good tank mates
A tiny, peaceful goby that suits nano and community reef tanks with other calm fish like firefish, smaller gobies, and clownfish. It mostly perches on branching corals and rock and is reef-safe with most corals, though it may rest on SPS like Acropora and lightly nip or irritate the polyps, so watch placement in an SPS-heavy tank. Keep it away from large or aggressive fish that will eat or bully something this small, and house only one per tank unless you have a confirmed pair.
Good to know
Yellow clown gobies secrete a bitter, toxic skin mucus that makes them unpalatable to many predators, which is part of why such a small, slow fish survives out in the open on coral branches.
