Question Cannot Identify this fish

Hi,

My girlfriend was at the LFS a few weeks ago getting me supplies while I was away and fell in love with a fish and wound up purchasing and placing in my tank Anyway, it seems to be a pretty cool fish, about 2 1/2"L all bright yellow with a small blue dot on its head. It resembles a midas and or canary blenny but definitely is not one of them. It seems to move with a whipping tail more like an engineer goby and swims in small strides. It seems to be reef safe as it hasn't picked at any of my corals and eats most food I offer. It does hide out behind live rock sometimes and others it swimming around searching for food in a stop and go motion while staring at the substrate. It definitely is a cool fish to watch but I cannot find ANY information on what this little guy is??? I have searched everywhere and have yet to see anything like this fish - wish I had a picture but I cannot get a decent one because the pics don't do any justice - Please help!!

All the pics I have tried to take make it look like a canary blenny even though I know its not - my camera sucks! I can try to upload but I was hoping by the description I gave someone may have seen what I have somewhere.

Sounds like it could be a yellow watchman goby. Try googling that and see if the pics match what you have.

Here's a pic:
