    just wondering if anyone has o.clowns and Gobiodon okinawae not a citron goby with blue markings, Gobiodon okinawae has no markings sometimes a pale spot on its cheeks. anyways ever since i added this lil goby to my tank that has pair of o.clowns, immeditely they took to each other. the clowns seem to watch over it , like they have accepted it. honestly the hardly leave its side, they just hoover over the clown goby, and stare at it. with them being so close all the time i noticed some very similar features,the shape and placement of all there fins,(except the goby has a foot),id like to count the spines on the goby but they are way too small to see, i think it would be the same amount on a oclown, or perc. even down to the goby hosting a frogspawn, swimming in its tentacles the same way the clowns do.the big female clown even bullied it around the first few days as she did with the male clown,then accepted the lil goby.
    i honestly looks like a clownfish and a goby breeded at some point and became a tiny clownfish with a foot.


    if you got em look at them closely youll see what i mean.


    yes i have been drinking tonite. but i think this stuff when im sober also. lololol
