Very cool! I especially love the eel!

The fish poking his head out in the middle, is a...? We also have one and it was sold to us as a dragon goby, but I do not think that it is a goby. What is the correct name?

Engineer Goby is the most common name, also sometimes called a convict goby.

Latin name is Pholidichthys leucotaenia.

Cool fish/eel but it sure makes a mess digging all the time.

Pretty much, they know when it's dinner time and always gather at the front of the tank and wait for food.

They definitely do love to sandscape! Ours has become quite elusive and we rarely see him anymore. I wonder how he would do in our other tank with a barebottom.

AWESOME!

I want one of everything. I'll have to look further into the engineer gobies. Is everything in there 'reef safe'?

Hehe, that is so cool. Fu Manchu looks so crabby "Get this eel off me!!"

Wow, I just watched it a second time and realized that pinkish softy coral out front is a fish!

Yes they are all "reef safe" in terms of corals. Pretty much everything except the seahorse will probably eat some kind of shrimp, crab or snail.
