I dug in the archives and added a new (close up) photo of one of these little cutsies. Perhaps it could help in ID? I can't find the species - All I know is that they are blennies (the 'eyelashes' and eye placement on the head are giveaways).
Elsa
Yeah, very tiny, probably around 3 cm.. I love gobies, they are so cute :)
