Fish suggestion

[delor]

I have a 5 gallon Corner Ecplise tank that I have turned into a SW nano for my desk at work. I gutted the old light and added 27watts of 50/50 and 9watts of actinic. I currently have a coral banded shrimp in there. I had a gonipora in there, but it has grown to large for the nano, so it now lives in my 55 reef in my living room. I will be adding a few other corals to the tank, but was wondering about a fish (since everyone walks by and askes "Where are the fish? Isn't this a FISH tank?" to which I reply, "No, it is an aquarium."). So, what type of fish would you suggest to add? Keep in mind that it should be able to live with my CBS and not become dinner. I would like to keep the bioload low, so no tangs. (It was a joke....) I was thinking about a citron goby or something like that. Any other suggestions?...

Yea, I would think some small gobies, (neon, catalina, small shrimp gobies, etc.) should be fine.

My main concern was it being so small that the CBS thinks it is dinner...

Coral Banded Shrimp can be somewhat aggressive in my experience but I have never had one kill a fish or anything for that matter. Any of the smaller species of Goby such as Trimma, Masked, Clown, as well as the suggestions posted by Madnav87.

Small gobies all the way...clown gobies are cute & have lots of personality. Or any other small goby like the neon etc.
