    Maybe.I can name him for you if you want.lol
    There are lots of Gobies and they are almost always mislabeled.This is why I have gotten so good at I.D.ing things.I like to
    know exactly what I am purchasing.Crazy right???;D

    This Goby wasn't even identified until 2006, but I have seen a few at the LFS recently.
    He's a keeper.Should get even more colorfull over time with good water and foods.
    Doesn't appear to even have a common name so if you want we can come up with something cool.:)

    Can you confirm if it has any blue on it??It could also be a Amblyeleotris masuii as they are similar in appearance.

    It's actually mine. malac0da13 posted this for me. I didn't know this site existed as Im usually on another forum site. Is this Goby somewhat rare? I just bought it and he immediately paired up with a tiger pistol shrimp.
