a orange spot or sleeper goby will or should hold it own.
but wanting something to stay out goby wise is a hard one. they like to have a area home and stay closer to the rocks

Well this isnt a fish but it will sift and not have a problem with the mean fish. A sand sifting star fish I also have a CC bottom. I have one sand sifting star, and 4 big scarlet hermits. ~Tim~

the problem with stars is that the parrot fish is quite fond of the starfish delecasy
