Peter, one question you mentioned 'Sandhopper' in your species left to advanced keepers but didn't list reasons or exactly what genus of fish? Are you referring to the Parapercis spp. ? They are sometimes sold as 'lizard Blennies' , 'Sand perch' or 'Rockhoppers'. I've kept one and they eat readily but are ridiculously good jumper and will bully tankmates almost from the start.

I had a was I think was Parapercis schauinslandi which seem pretty common in the trade and are quite hardy with the caveats of aggression and jumping mentioned.
