This article by Jeremy Gay caught my eye because I was thinking perhaps my citron goby was a dusky citron goby that isn't exported as frequently, but below mentions those vivid yellows just aren't as available as they once were.
Extract:
Citron gobies come in many colors from lemon to mustard yellow, brown to black, but these specimens from Quality Marine are definitely in the in-between category. Gobiodon citrinus are widespread in nature, inhabiting reefs off Africa, Asia, and Oceania, and go by many common names including Clown goby, Saffron goby, and Poison goby, after the toxic mucus they produce on their skin.
Fully grown at just two inches, Citron gobies are characterful little fish that perch within coral branches and can be bred in captivity. They are suitable for nano tanks and would be much more popular if it wasn’t for their propensity for eating the polyps of Acropora and other SPS corals.
