Question Acro Fish???

Has anyone ever heard of an acro fish? Well I have one, it is inside one of my Poccilliopora colonys and stays there all day... It looks kind of like a cherub angel (blue body yellow/orange face. I have had the colony for over a year now and have never seen him before. What do you think it is? Where did it come from? I have no angels in any of my tanks and have never had any.

I cant it is at my friends house. We are being evacuated because of the fires and that is when he noticed it. But it looks just like a tiny cherub, and is only 1/4 inch if that. Any ideas?

Clown Gobies are known to live in SPS

Look up the Genus Gobiodon and Paragobius

I am not familiar with one that looks like you describe but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

The Panda Goby does have an orange face and is found in Pocillopora colonies

Here is a picture

Thanks! Could it be some kind of juvinal clown goby with weird markings? I have never kept clown gobies before either.
This is how orangish red the face is, the body of it is blackish blue.
