another clown gobi?

hi everyone,

I have a fish in my small tank and I don't know exactly, what he is. so maybe one of you can help. I couldn't find him online.
He looks just like a yellow clown gobi, just, that he isn't yellow. He is a greyish white. but otherwise he is exaclty the same. same body shape, same behavier and the same blue markings over the body.
Does anybody have an idea?

my husband named him Dimitri because he sits on rocks and spies on us just like the kgb

Ser gute! Ich war in Duetschland in 1976 fur die Olympische Winter Spiele in Innsbruk. Well that's it for my Deutsch.

I'm glad you were able to identify the little guy. Not to pick on you but the 10 gallon is a little cramped for those two at their adult size, but the 75 gallon will be the perfect place for them, eh?

I know it's cramped, but they like it.
I got them both in there for almost a year now. And I got a gigantic coral banded shrimp in there too.
They seem all very happy and I didn't have any probs with the tank at all since I set it up.
And my water is always good too. So I'll leave this one that way. The gobi doesn't swim much anyway. He mostly sits an one of the rocks. And the clown and the shrimp always flirt.
I think, the clown thinks the antennas of the shrimp is an anemone
