Clown Gobies prefer tanks with acros in them. They eat the polyps and generally live around or on during the day.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I have a green clown goby in my 9.5 gallon zoa and lps tank. They are too small to do much of anything with the sand.
Mine is always perched on the rocks, in his cave or on the glass. Very active at feeding time, then back on the rocks. I have tried multiple clowns in this tank, but the teritories that they set up always cause one to loose and eventually get chased to death. I do how everhave a cleaner shrimp that likes to roam the grounds in there with the goby and they get along just fine. I think a watchman is too big for an 8 gallon.

There are many tiny gobies that would do well in a small tank. IMO I think a YWG is too big for an 8g.

I'm gonna say a Randall's Goby. They don't get huge, look great and have a funny personality.
