I have a bullet gobby and love him. He even ate red slime when I had it. The only problem I have with him is that at times he does his job too well and gets sand on some of the corals.

I love the Blue spot Jawfish (makes a cave, then covers it over with rocks every night, to open it up in the morning) but I don't like the price tag

These are great sand-sifters.
Sleeper Banded Goby

(Amblygobius phalaena)

They are sometimes sold as a Dragon Goby (Marine not Freshwater)
