What is a good GREEN colored fish for a small tank?

[CyberGuy]

I am looking for a small nice grren colored fish for a small 20 gallon tank? I cannot have a mandarin fish so I am looking for other green fish that is small.

Oh, forgot to say that no green chromis either.

Thanks.

Clown Goby, Green: Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums

that’s the only option I can think of.

Oh shoot, I just read about that clown green Goby and it said yo be careful with sps tank because it may nip at the polyps. I will have an SPS dominant small 20 gallon reef tank.

Six lines have a nice green tail, but are meaner than spit.

It won't nip at the acros, itll lay eggs there

^^ said it before I could. If you only have one goby you shouldn’t have any egg laying related issues since they change genders like clownfish

I had a citron in an old tank and it perched on a millepora so much it stopped a lot of PE. Still a cool fish though!

In in the green clown goby boat with everyone! I think its worth a risk. Just feed it and keep it happy. I havent heard too many horror stories about it and sps.

Green Reef Chromis would be fine in a 20g, related to Damsels but not quite as mean.

Green Banded Gobies are the BEST!

Green banded goby was my suggestion as well, or as they are known here Christmas goby.

Green clown gobies are great as well but they can still strip coral flesh if kept on their own (nowhere near as likely however). They are a gender bending species and can change sex both ways unlike clownfish. So sometimes instinct gets the better of them and they strip a patch of coral flesh in readiness for a mate.

What about a green coris wrasse

What about a green coris wrasse

It says a 20g so the wrasse will outgrow it quickly I'm afraid. They grow into monsters, both size wise and temperament, and fade to a boring whitish colour as they mature. They are fantastic looking fish when young though.

Is it hard to get the Green Banded Gobies. I have not seen it often..... or at least, have not pay much attention to that fish.
