Yellow clown goby
The yellow clown goby, ''Gobiodon okinawae'', also known as the Okinawa goby or yellow coral goby, is a member of the goby family native to the western Pacific from southern Japan to the southern reaches of the Great Barrier Reef. As the name implies, they are bright yellow in color, save for a whitish patch on each cheek.
==Description==
''G. okinawae'' have a generally fusiform shape with seven dorsal spines, ten soft dorsal rays, one anal spine, and nine anal soft rays. At maturity they can reach a length of 3.5 cm.〔(Gobiodon okinawae ), Fishbase.org, retrieved 4 November 2007〕
Another species, ''Gobiodon citrinus'', the citrus goby, has a similar appearance to ''Gobiodon okinawae''. ''G. okinawae'', however, lacks the requisite blue and white facial markings of ''G. citrinus''.
These fish are not generally aggressive, though they can actively protect their territory against their own kind. Their primary defense against predators is a poisonous, bitter mucus on their skin that makes them unpalatable.〔("Fish Tales - Let's clown around with more Gobies - the Gobiodon species" ), Henry C.
