Sleeper Goby floater

[PeterEde]

Sadly I Just found my sleeper goby floating. He was the biggest fish in the tank. A good 3" long and a very healthy fish. At least showed no signs of illness.
His intestines were coming out his butt.
Does that indicate he was hit hard?
I know there is at least one small Mantis and I knew there was one small pistol (maybe 2)
The mantis was id as

Haptosquilla glyptocercus max size 4cm

Smaller goby next time. He was too big for my tank.
Still need a cleanup boss.
What goby ?
He was great at turning over the bottom but tended to cover all the rock and coral in sand

Koumansetta’s do GREAT sand sifting, and eat basically any pest algae. Amblygobius are also good sand sifters.

100% was the mantis…even small their are huge nuisances.
