Tank size is a Red Sea Max Nano! 1-2” sandbed, invert wanted and possibly mixed reef (Definitely LPS, certain Softies and mushrooms - Possibly a clam in the future).

So, I’ve been debating on pairing one of my three current gobies and/or grabbing another goby and pairing that, the question is what would be the easy route? I definitely want Atleast one goby pair. The gobies I have at the moment are:
- “Black” clown goby (Unsure of the specific species - Possibly G. acicularis)
- Hectors Goby (Koumansetta hectori)
- Yasha Shrimp Goby (Stonogobiops yasha)

I have asked about pairing gobies that are unusual to this hobby but I have also seen a Hybrid between K. hectori and K. rainfordi, now how possible is it to pair these two specimens in captivity? I’d love any recommendations as to what other gobies would make great pairs!!
 
I’m not completely set on it however I have a plan for 2 Staghorns in the tank and at the speed they grow they should be able to thrive even with a pair of Clown Gobies using them to mate right?
