I don't know that I would would put a neon or catalina goby in with any of them, but they don't eat cleaner, fire or peppermint shrimp.

I would be really happy if they at my remaining damsels or chromis.

I've thought about going out and trying to find a Juvi in the sargassum algae here on the gulf coast. I was told by a supplier from south florida that all he finds in that stuff is the greys. He said the sargassum are usually 15-20 miles out and not worth it for him to collect. I'll have to have the lfs talk to his guys down in south florida for me as well. The thought of getting one for free down at the beach is nice as well but if its just going to turn out to be a grey then its not worth it, well unless its a nice sunny day and skimpy swimsuits
