I'm interested in adding a new fish and I prefer fish on the smaller side so i thought I'd see what your guy's favorites are.
What's your favorite small fish for a reef?

One of my favorite fish is the fire fish. Colorful, peaceful when kept as a single, usually easy to care for. Only thing is they can be shy and hide.

Scooter blenny great personality
Clown gobies are highly underrated as well. You can add multiple if they are different colors (e.g. green/warpaint and yellow), but beware if adding multiple of the same color!
I've had my green for 9 years now. His name is Gobias (pronounced similar to "Tobias"). The clown gobies often associate with corals.

Yeah I bought a Purple firefish last wk for my Evo, it's the only fish in the tank, it hides from its self lol, come out for feeding thou.
I am on the Royal Gramma team here... had one for a number of years , a little less expensive than a Dottyback , especially colourful, but watch it if you have clowns. This fish has serious spunk for it's size imo. Could be a battle.....
Agreed also a good one.
You can never go wrong with a watchman and pistol shrimp pair 
How big is the tank? That will give us an idea of what's considered small also. A school of cardinals would be cool if it's big enough. A small school of firefish won't work for more than a few months - I tried.

In my 140 I have some small fish too, neon goby, royal gramma(aka Fairy Basslet) , orchid dottyback( aka purple dotty) , clown fish ( i have 8 right now) purple firefish, fire goby.
Hope this helps, the rest are slightly larger...
I am building a 300 gallon right now to replace my 140..

I got many request to start this post, so here it is. I Started building and planning a 300 gallon reef to replace my current 140 gallon. Tank is being made and I have started building the stand out of reinforced fiberglass and gluing it all together with special epoxy which is pretty pricey...
