It's a dartfish of some kind, for sure. Similar to a Blue Gudgeon Goby but the fins are not black. Can you get a better picture of it?

+1 ptereleotris Microlepis

I currently have a clown, sailfin tang, two-spot brissletooth tang, and a blue hippo tang in right now. its a 75 gallon reef tank and I'm looking for one last fish to reach my max! Please tell me what you think and some good ideas to consider!
Thank you!!

I seem to remember a thread where an experienced reefer would comment about fish compatibility and suggestions for stocking fish.
Anyone remember this thread here?

I'm looking to add a few fish and have a question.

Thanks....
