    Heres a few more small reef fish. There's two sand gobies, maybe male/female and a undef. Blenny that I've name Kelp Greenling blenny. He looks like a pacific kelp greenling. He's an insane hunter, really fun to watch. His favorite prey are the mini brittle starfish. I've got 3 in a 30g along with many other fish, they can't even make a dent in the mini brittle population.

    This pic is of the "Kelp Greenling" undef. Blenny
    largest size I've seen is around 2". I've had him(2") for 6 months, he was 1/2" when I got him. He seems to have stopped growing, he hasn't grown in over 1 1/2 months.

    Other White Sand Goby
    average size is 1/2" (notice 1/2" pvc in background)
    this one has a pretty cryptic color pattern, and is able to change light to dark color depending on surroundings.

    For those of you who care, the one I called a kelp greenling is a Redrump Blenny. Its latin name is Xenomedia rhodopyga and its a live bearer. The latin name for the black eye goby is Coryphopterus nicholsi. The undesribed blennys is actually an Flash-light or Orange spot goby. Its latin name is Coryphopterus urospilus.
