The randeli's goby (spelling?) they and the hectori (again spelling?) goby are the only true algae eating gobies. very pretty and active too!

If you already have the gramma and the damsel, they may not take too kindly to the gobies. The clown they may ignore, since they usually just cling to rocks, but the firefish will probably draw their ire, especially the gramma's.

Neon gobys are always left alone becuase they clean parasites off fish and this is invaluable to all fish including predator fish.
