Do multiple Gobiodon ignore each other if they are different colors?

Hello! I currently have a 15-gallon tank with one yellow clown goby (Gobiodon) and two clownfish. I wasn’t planning on adding more fish, but I’ve really grown to enjoy my yellow clown goby.

Since my tank has plenty of hiding spots, I’m considering adding one or two more. I understand that clown gobies can be territorial with their own species, but I’ve read that they might ignore each other if they’re different colors.

Could someone please confirm if this is true? If so, I’d like to add a Histrio and a Unicolor, but I’ll refrain if it might cause conflicts.
 

i cant think

G. okinawae (pair)
