So thats 29gal tank. With the amount of fish you have in I would recommend not putting any more in :(.

Do you have any clean up crew in?

If you post a pic on here someone will be able to ID it :)

Is your "goby" actually a Ptereleotris zebra?

I`d rehome the dominos if you can, they grow quite quickly and become very aggressive ( pugnacious ). For your size tank I would recommend a bi colour pseudochromis (just the one).

you could try a fuzzy dwarf lionfish (dendrochirus brachypterus) they grow to about 6.5" and can be housed in a 30 gallon aquarium mine never bothered anything else in the tank.
