Yep. In fact, that's exactly how a protein skimmer works. Organics are hydrophobic (water fearing). Organics go to the surface of the tank because...
You're probably not getting a lot of skimmate then. The majority of the organics are going to be on the surface of the water.
For some reason, they tend to get bacterial infections where you touch them and will get this real nasty black necrosis.
Jason, Number One....not having a tank doesn't give one the right not to log onto 3Reef. I expect to see you here from time to time. That's an...

I've noticed that there are a lot of new mantis shrimp owners. I just wanted you to know that there is a club for you right here on 3Reef maintained...
Based on what you found, I looked up that genus. Karma to you I think you have an ornate goby (Istigobius ornatus)
LOL....that's pretty good. I would change it to be all deciduous trees "leaves".
Other than upside down jellyfish (Casseopia), they tend to a pain to keep. They cannot have tankmates. They require little in the way of lighting....
It's fine. They'll often grow together on the same rock
