A Neon Goby would be fine in a tank with clownfish. They are cleaners that pick off parasites and dead tissue from other fish. There are more than two dozen of these but the most common in the hobby is Gobiosoma oceanops, which is being captive-bred by O.R.A.

It's always a good idea to try to get a captive-bred juvenile since their natural lifespan is no more than 1-2 years.

aww.. that seems so short lived..
what else would do good temporarily..

To add fish to a 10g nano that already houses to clowns, look towards smaller benthic species.

I don't know of anything off hand other than a Neon Goby that you might add to a 10-gal tank with a pair of Percula Clownfish. How about a cleaner shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis)?

I agree with the above, a cleaner shrimp or the neon goby both would be meuch better then the more aggresive "cleaner wrasse"
