    I would say so, as long as the firefish doesn't get stressed out. it sounds like it would be hard to maintain though.

    Hopefully you have some type of cover before he goes Carl Lewis on you.

    i dont think clown gobys eat sps, they just perch to the point that they kill the sps.

    green clown gobies are one of the coolest fish IMO If you arent gonna get a bunch of acros in that little tank get one. THey are pretty and have great personalities. Not all ravage your SPS either.

    They would be OK, together just cover the tank as firefish are jumpers.
