It will have to get along with my firefish and false perc.
Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Is a "High Fin Red Banded Goby" a YasheHaze Goby?
Something like that might be good as they are very small fish.
I'd choose carefully and conservatively, because 3 small fish is probably the upper limit of what you'd be wise to keep in a 12g reef.

Not sure, but I have heard a few different names for them.
If we're looking at 1 cubic inch of fish per 5g....a full grown false perc and firefish should have me at about 2/3 capacity. I'm trying to be very careful, that's why I'm asking.

Six line will be too big, lawnmower blenny also gets pretty big and may not have anything to eat after all the algea is gone. High fin goby is your best bet.

Unicorn Tang.
I don't know about a Six Line in a 12 gallon.
Over at nano-reef it made their list for 10g safe. Sounds like a very active fish and should give the tank a busy look. maybe?

Go with the goby. I've seen lawnmower blennies get to over 6 inches and be fat, and I've seen 6lines to be over 3" and be agressive.

Yeah, I like those. I think I've seen those called Black Ray, and High Fin. My memory is hazy though. Very cool-looking fish by any name!
Get him a candy cane shrimp.

I gues they will pair with a Randalli Pistol Shrimp but are they reef safe?

I don't know if the day would ever come that I would run out of algae.
Sounds like it's hit or miss with aggression.
Sounds like it would keep my clown in line and off the firefish's butt....but I would like a happy tank.

The Randals pistol shrimps (aka candy cane - depending which store you're visiting) are totally reef safe. They're tiny - about 1" max from tail to claw - so they aren't a threat to anything in the tank, and they can't even really do any damage with their digging. As a precaution, make sure your rockwork is fairly stable, and nestled into the sand a bit, but I never had trouble with the digging these tiny guys did.

So, would you quarantine the goby with the shrimp or introduce the shrimp later? Do gobies have a high risk of carrying ich?

Maybe they mean a cryptic 6 line

grouper??
you did say LAST fish
Yeah, a grouper or I was thinking an anglerfish....not sure if I'll have much room for water though. What kind of impression would that make on my clown and my firefish?
I have this goby paired with a Tiger Pistol shrimp.
