Does anyone out there have a Decorated Goby?

Does anyone out there have a Decorated Goby (Istigobius decoratus)? My LFS had one of these interesting creatures for a long time and couldn't sell it. He said his customers thought it was ugly. I finally decided to bring it home and it is one of the most interesting fish I have.

Since I needed a sand sifter in my BioCube 29, I decided to place him there. It is very committed to its bottom-dwelling nature, but is very social (not a hider). It also performs hilarious acrobatics at feeding time as it launches off of live rock to snag morsels. I was just wondering if anyone else out there has one of these and if they love it as much as I do.

I don't think it's ugly! I'd definitely get one if I saw it. I loved my Diamond Watchman Goby, quite the character!
