I’m looking for a small fish that will not get picked on. I️ have a couple blue jaw triggers and a melanurus wrasse, and a naso tang. Also a flame angel. Would like maybe one more fish, was looking at dragonettes but don’t think I️ could get them enough pods to eat. So I’m basically just looking for a fish that maybe does a “job” in the tank like a small diamond goby or any colorful personality small fish that won’t get bullied and just does it’s own thing.

I like Starry Blennies. They have personality, won’t get picked on and eat algae like it’s their job.
 
Yea I️ can possibly get one of them. Thing is I️ don’t have a ton of algae. Would nori supplement I️t enough.
 
Looking for other sugggestions

Mine eats anything and everything!
 
A Dottyback might be the solution for you as they are small but fearless. The Goby could be bullied by your current fish.
 
Sweet thanks guys. I’m gonna look at dottybacks
 
Fangblenny? Orchid dottyback?

+1 on a fang blenny. Very active throughout the water column. Brazen (as in curious) yet peaceful (except toward other fang blennies). And pretty much reef safe (except possibly to little shimp like sexy shrimp). Very underrated fish IMHO.
 
I've got a Molly Miller Blenny in quarantine, so far a very interesting little fish. Is said to be good for keeping tank clean, and it is the most algae free qt I've had... but eats pellets, or anything else I throw in, readily.
Had my lfs order a captive bred one from sustainable aquatics.
