Thanks for the suggestion.

I recently just found out that the green clown goby helps keep corals cleared from algae. This is just some neat info to go along with the photo.

"Hay and Dixson placed turtle weed on small staghorn coral (Acropora nasuta), a common reef-building coral found in the Pacific and Indian oceans, while in the presence of two goby species. The gobies cleaned up quickly: Within three days, 30% of the turtle weed was gone, and coral bleaching dropped by 70-80% compared to a goby-less seaweed invasion."
