Masked Cleaner Goby

Cleaner gobies run actual cleaning stations on the reef, staking out a spot on the rockwork where larger fish line up to have parasites and dead skin picked clean, a service so valuable that even fish that would normally eat something this size hold still and let it happen. This masked variety is tiny, bold for its size, and will set up shop the same way in captivity, especially once it's the only cleaner in the tank.
