What kind of hitch hikers have you found on your SPS?

I bought an acro a couple of days ago and got 3 acro crabs and this little goby. I will try to get a better picture, but he looks rather clear and has bright orange on his head. Only about a half inch long.

cool hitchhiker..however, i have read they really nip at sps polyps...if you have a highly stocked tank it wont be a problem likely because the nipping will be delegated out to more corals

ive had that same goby hitchhiker before on a colony that I ordered from RM

I have seen him nip at the coral that he is in. It is a softball size colony so it should be ok.

I don't think it will venture out of this coral as there are a couple of fish in this tank that will make quick work of him.

the colony was half way lost durning shipping and eventually lost thw whole thing and he was still in there for a while so i just left it but never saw him after a week or so, my grouper might have seen him trying to escape or something not to sure.
