yellow clown goby and sps

Is there any possibility of pods or parasites on the SPS that they are going after?
They are usually compatible but nothing is ever set in stone

If they are a mated pair they could be clearing a space to lay eggs.

On the other hand they could be like my yellow clown goby and will be just having a light lunch... saving room for a big dinner of acropora tissue

I lost a colony in my 20G that my CG perched on all the time, but I NEVER saw him nipping at it... So I don't think the loss of the colony had anything to do with the CG... but I could be wrong.. I think it was just a case of STN.

I'd watch them. They may just clear a small area and leave it at that. If the coral is big enough, it should be fine.
