Anyone have/had one of these guys? I think it's also called a flag tail goby or a blue line dwarf goby.

I'm curious if he's a know jumper. He's eating pods but I'd also like to know if he will take other foods.

Another great MCF legacy in my tank!

Yeah I saw him a week ago and fell in love. I had them reserve him before all the stuff. I got lucky that he was still there and I could make it in. I guess he was just meant to be mine. :D

Beautiful and tiny! I would be worried with certain crabs and shrimp and of course bigger more aggressive fish.
 
Thanks, I think he will rule my frag tank until I upgrade later. I'm pretty sure my female clown would eat him just out of spite in my 28. hopefully the blue and red herms in there will not be a problem.
 
All crabs are oportunistic. They eat both meat and algae. If they see the chance to get a meal (sleeping fish on bottom, vulnerable snail, ect), they may try grab and eat it.
I would not be suprised if a larger red leg managed to grab him. The small blue ones are less likely. Its pretty uncommon for a hermit to grab a fish though, because they are nowhere near as fast as shell-less crabs (emerald, arrow, sally lightfoot, ect.).
Personally, I wold put all crabs in another tank until he gets a little bigger. Although you will likely be fine, if something does happen you'll be kicking yourself.

I say keep him or her in the frag tank
 
He jumped. I think the new 4line wrasse was bothering him. Now I have one dead fish (my first) and one I hate. This hobby sucks. Too bad it's so addictive. RIP lil buddy.
