Default Several Pseudochromidae?

Excellent! Is the "red firefish" the same thing as a Firefish goby
(nemateleotris magnifica)? If not, what's the scientific name?


Yes:

These things school great in groups.

Main disadvantage: in a large reef tank, then spend a majority of the time
hiding out of sight in the rocks.

Ocellaris clowns are the best schooling fish I've found that love to hang out
in the open water if they have nothing else to do. (Even better if you
DON'T have anemones or other flesh corals for them to host in; if they have a
host, they'll of course spend all their time in the host. But without a host,
they just swim around in the open water 24/7.)
