My green clown goby. Sadly i dont have any pics to share of him right now. Never could get a decent photi of him anyways. Lived how he would just perch out in the open on my zoas
 
Diamond gobies are jumpers. Love em for stirring up sand bed but couldnt keep them in the tank. Never see my watchman goby. I gave up on gobes and got a mandarin dragonet. Hes always out on display and gorgeous.
 
Flaming Prawn Goby Just seen one and have to say blown away.. colors and very unique look.
 
I'm a huge fan of gobies!
So much so that I set up a second tank dedicated to them; and blennies.

Any goby that forms a symbiotic relationship with pistol shrimp is welcome in my tanks.
So my favorite gobies has to be my pair of Wheeler's Gobies.



And in my 120gal mixed reef tank, I have another favorite; my Randall's Goby.



I also like the Yasha Gobies.
I have found these fish to be a bit more timid and have a difficult time settling into a busy reef system.



And I kept a trio of Masked Gobies.
These gobies were more antisocial than I expected. I was hoping the trio would stick together like the cardinalfish, but the three fish found their own niches in the reef and did their own thing.

This guy for this reason. He's so funny and he loves attention he come stuck to the front glass every time I go to the tank like look at me. If any other fish get near any of his 3 Duncan's he chases them away doesn't mater the size. He chases my maroon my tangs and my dwarf lion away. He's got some fight to him. He was the first ever sw fish I had and he survived the death of my first tank almost 3 years ago. Some times he follows my pair of yw gobies around but usually he swims solo
 
Randall's are my favorites. They have a unique dorsal fin and tend to be the boldest of the shrimp gobies so they're usually in view.
