Does anyone have experience with a Prognathodes aculeatus, or know how rare they are? I was just reading the butterflies in a reef thread and thought I may try to give that a shot instead of trimma's or a wrasse. It'd be something big to cruise around the tank with all the little gobies.

THIS. I really want to do this. Someday I'm going to set up a macroalgae tank and stock it with all the tiny things you can't keep in most communities because of their size.
Greenbandeds are fine with others of their kind. My LFS has a 14g reef on their counter that's been up for a few years, and there's two or three greenbanded gobies in there, just fine with each other.
Masked gobies are hover-y fish. When I first saw them, I thought they were baby cardinalfish. Get a group of those, there's no way they can eat anybody else. They act a lot like cardinals, from what I've seen of them.
Perhaps consider a disco fangblenny? Very peaceful fish, and they're goby-like. They hover, too, so one of those could take up a bit of midwater space.
Hector's gobies are lovely fish. You just have to offer nori or something like that now and then, they're almost like blennies in their diet.
Neon gobies and gold neon gobies would be nice. They aren't incredibly long-lived, but you'll have them for a little while.
You need some kind of tiny shrimpgoby and a mini pistol shrimp. This would be a good tank to keep one of those rare-ish shrimpgobies in, given that there's nothing to eat them.

Sorry for the lack of follow up on my posts. I ended up adding the multifasciatus. I lost one about a month in but the rest lived for about two more years. Then I lost just about everything in my tank due to having to gut my basement. I found some serious electrical issues and had to pull all of the wiring in my house and get it rewired. I tried sealing my tank up, but it appears that I still got quite a bit of drywall dust in the tank from when it went back up. About 2 weeks after the drywall went up, all of my fish were dead, lost my clam and most of my corals.
I'm actually in the process of putting together a 135 gallon tank. I will be looking for lots of gobies again. I'm also using lots of pukani rock, so i've thought about getting some barnacle blennies as well to dart in and out of all the holes in the rock. Topped off with either a harem of ignitus anthias or a group of flasher wrasses.
