Hector’s. Would be good to read up on them as they have a high chance of starving to death. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/hectors-goby.94721/

Koumansetta hectori - I have both Hectori and Rainfordi, they do the best Cyano and Diatom cleanup out of all the Sand Sifting genera of gobies.

This is the ORA Striped Fang (has small venomous fangs used for defense!) Blenny (Meiacanthus grammistes). I have the same exact one in my 60g. It goes about it's entire day searching the rockwork and sand for spaghetti worms to eat. It's mouth is shaped for the purpose of extracting small worms protruding outward on the surface enough. Definitely a very cool community tank mate to have IMO!
