I have a fluval spec 5 saltwater tank, and was thinking a goby/pistol shrimp combo, but have been reading so many horror stories of gobies jumping out of tanks, so I am a little nervous of getting one. I need some other ideas of small fish I can put in my fluval spec 5 that aren't gobies. I just ordered a ledtric par 38 bulb, and am getting a HOB refugium in the next 2 weeks, the tank just finished cycling but is still empty, so now planning my future fish as I finish getting all the upgrades.
 
when I add the HOB refugium I am going to have to cut the corner for the cover to stay on, and it has an open middle area in the cover already, so ya as I said a little nervous of getting a fish that's known for jumping. I am at the moment leaning towards getting a Tailspot Blenny. I have read a few cases of them too jumping out of a tank, but not as much as the gobies.
