Awesome, I love when I can learn a new species from walking around my LFS for half hour. Anyone had really good experience with one? I think I want to get that exact kind because my LFS has some really nice ones in their tanks. I would think they would be pretty good and well tempered since it seem most gobies are and would go nice in my 10 gallon with a stockin of a false percula clown, a cleaner shrimp, snails and some coral.

theyre cool but they hide a fair bit. I see mine once a month and its usually at 3am

hmmm maybe another false percula clownfish instead of the goby? I'm not sure but I think I wouldn't beable squeeze two clowns and the goby into the tank.

2 clowns and a goby would be max in a 10g

Yes a Yellow Watchman Goby is about 3 times bigger than the Yellow Clown Goby. Our Watchamn stays hidden deep in the rocks and stays on the sandbed. My Yellow Clown goby stays high in the tank messing with the polyps and is very active at night. The Clown goby also has a toxic slime on their body to keep other fish from eating them. I will try to post a pic of the Watchman soon he is so camera shy.
