Clown goby
It is said female clown goby can damage tissue of SPS, I gave this one a chance, I have not seen negative effect...maybe it's male...
Fun to see hopping from SPS to SPS and they are TINY
Mine sleeps in a little house from the fingers of a spongode colony.. Then hops around all day on my favorite coral (blue stag) all day.

Sorry to get all girly, but AHHHHH these babies are adorable! My smallest was a clown goby,but I keep seeing these tiny maybe 1/4" clowns at the LFS and keep thinking I need to get one for the nano, but I worry because they are SO tiny lol.

Why do think I started the thread
the adorableness of baby and tiny fish is nearly as good as kittens

Green banded goby, one I lost to jumping in the days before I learned every tank with fish needs a lid. I don't think they are particularly jump-prone, but they do get hyper and hop around on the glass at times, so perhaps this one got a little too enthusiastic. I have 2 of them now, and they are cute and fun to watch, especially when they interact, but they are nowhere near as bold and curious as my yellow clown goby; that guy has no idea he is tiny and stays out all the time with the "big fish" (not really that big, a Midas blenny and sunburst anthias are the largest). I like having the green banded gobies, but much prefer the yellow clown goby's personality.

For a bit more size reference and a laugh, this was my firefish's reaction to the addition of the goby in a former tank, which he previously had to himself:

LOL! That's quite the disgusted look on his face. I agree, everything can jump.
