this one to ? it would be nice if we put up the common names of them so all of us now what we are looking at

 

[The Kapenta Kid]

Good idea, although I think it would be better with scientific names since common names may not exist or be ambiguous.
I read that the Emperor Akahito of Japan just read a paper on goby classification to the Linnean Society in London for the 300th anniversary of Carl Linné's birth. But it may have been about FW gobies which I think is his specialty.

Istiblennius chrysospilos, Blenniella chrysospilos/Redspot blenny/orangespot blenny/ redspot rockskipper

Both are on the rare side. The first should be kept in a nano with protection to the overflow and top...they are micro-tiny! Great photos.

Here`s a little striped Mandarinfish, Synchiropus splendidus.
It`s new to one of my reef tanks, & is doing great, eating the profits of having a refugium.
