Hey everyone,
I just got this little guy from one of my LFS and I cannot seem to find what he is. He's abut 1 1/4 inch, black and white in color. I got this picture from another person online, who didn't seem to find out either. Thought to be maybe a kind of goby?

Interesting find. Definitely a goby.

Looks like a Priolepis species, maybe semidoliata.

Definitely not a Priolepis species, let alone P. semidoliata. Wrong body shape and coloration.

Most likely Gymneleotris seminuda.

Thanks, that's definitely it! Awesome little fish, haven't seen him since we put him in the tank though, too many places for something that size to hide even being a 29gal :sad2:

Do you think a peppermint shrimp would bother with it?

No he will be fine. Once he gets comfortable he might start peeking out and getting bolder.
