Minnie - did you take those videos? If so, where?  
Yep, just me and my trusty ol' Canon. Took the videos at the Aquarium of the Bay over at Pier 39 in San Francisco. They just have the one Mandarin Goby in one tank with all the other fishes. I had to compress the videos to fit the forum so the quality may be a bit motley but still viewable.

Rather than the corals, what impressed me was the way the fish used the currents as part of their movement, doing things that only work if the water pushes them the correct way in addition to their movement. I see this all the time in the wild, but only just thought how much realism it would add to a virtual aquarium... you can't see the current, but can infer it from the fish...

Actually, I infer the current from the movement of the coral and the movement of the floating particles in the water and lastly see what the fishies are doing.
