Default Fish for refugium

Do any of you have some good ideas for fish for a refugium. (33 gallon)?
I am kinda thinking for something different.

Stir Powder blues!! I can hear the sirens already.
Wait a minute, it's my siren
But don't gobies ravish pods and critters?

Seahorses, interesting but they would have to be captive raised. Does anyone keep them? Raise them?
Thanks

I can't remember if they were captive bred, but Aquarium West had some a while ago.

Thanks reefburnaby.
I will do some research on them. They would have to be aqua cultured because they are getting extinct in the wild. Might even bew on the CITES list by now.

What are you using the refugium for? It seems to me that it would be counterproductive to place a predator in a refugium considering the term "refugium" implies "free from predation." I suppose if you're using the 'fuge to grow macroalgae then placing a carnivorous fish in there would be fine - unless, of course, you want to reduce the amount of infauna in your refugium for some reason.

Ahh sorry I was thinking refuge as in a place for algae to grow for nutrent export.. if you want pods then the golbys arn't for you.

Yeh, no predators unless they are light eaters.
What about some of the dwarf angels? Any experience with them in a refugium? Will the consume all the pods?
