I don't think it is the coral banded shrimp. I have seen injuries inflicted by those and they do now resemble a skin sloughing issue. That is just me, though.

I've seen clown gobies get sick...how are the other tank inhabitants?

I have also seen skin issues with poisoning. What test kits are you using (I apologize if this was covered, I am doing a quick browse through the posts). I see that the nitrites and nitrates are in a good position, but I would still have wondered if there was ever an ammonia reading in the recent past.

Although, rushing all the kids out of the pool might seem hasty...this clown goby would probably benefit from an antibacterial treatment in QT. I use MelaFix and a good diet.
