Any small reef safe fish that like caverns?

[sikpupy]

I have a lot of over hangs and tall crevices. All my fish swim "around" the structure and sometimes through it but rarely. I would like to find, if there are any some fishies that would love to hover around in them.

Anything out there like that?

The Watchman Gobies tend to hang out in sheltered areas.

firefish gobies are neat little fish that like overhangs and crevices..

Try a Chalk Basslet or a Pajama Cardinal

My sixline wrasse loves to hide/swim thru the cavbes & rockwork. Also my transluscent cave goby as the name implies.

Royal grammas are common/easy, springeri dottyback one of my favs, and I just got a tailspot blenny that I'm pretty stoked on.
Lawnmowers are cool too, and great for keeping algaes down.

My Damsels are constantly chasing each other in and out of the holes and caverns... I am not sure how 'nice' they are with the rest of the fisheses...

And my late FlameHawk used to make a racetrack through the tank... he swam around in a wicked pattern. Again, I hear they aren't nice to the crabses...

My flame angel and Yellow fin flasher wrasse are always following each other through the rocks in and out of caves.

I have a pair of juvenile falco hawkfish in my 75, they're only about 1 inch long right now and they love moving around the rockwork. In fact I now now some of my rocks have tunnels right through them as I've watched them go in one hole and pop out another.

Since they don't have a swim bladder, hawkfish tend to stay on the rocks or sand rather than swim around. Only issue is they will take out shrimp and potentially any fish smaller than them.

Basslets.

I have a pair of Brazilian flameback angels that run through the rockwork. Lots of color, lots of speed, and they get into even the smallest caves and pass-throughs in the rockwork. Grazers too, they love picking at algae.

Fridmani dottyback, any of the blennies.

 

[Elorian]

+1 on the Fridmani for hanging out it caves- mine hides in there all the time, to the point that I don't seem him much. Grrr. Plus he's a mean son of a gun- I think I got a defective one .

 

[reidcrandall]

I had a bi-color blenny a long time ago that went in and out of crevices, and was quite a personality. I would recommend any of the blennies.

 

[davocean]

Gotta be careful w/ some blennies, some will nip a lil.
A couple our club members just ditched bicolors for that reason.
My tailspot has been good so far, nice color, killer personality.

What gobies go high? All the ones I tend to see like to stay low.

No, Fridmani are ba****ds. I had to take mine out of the 90 because he kept chasing my gobies around. He would stalk the tank like the gustopo looking for something to terrorize. Mine also ate my new, not even one day old pygmy goby when the pygmy decided to climb out of the container it was in. That was a $30 meal. I dont even eat that well!! Man, if it was not for the fact that if I stuck my Fridmani in the disposal and lost another $25, I would have cooked him and had HIM for lunch.
