This guy showed up with my live rock from Tampa Bay. He's about 1/2 inch. I didn't see him for a couple of months, but now he zips around the bottom every once in a while. It's hard to get a clear pic because he doesn't stand still long. Does anyone have an idea what he is? He runs, not swims.

Awesome! I have no idea, but I seem to remember that someone posted about a similar-looking fish a year or two ago.

Can't believe you have a little Goby hitchhiker. So jealous. I just got aiptasia.

It's not a goby. He has legs and no dorsal fin!

If it is the Elacatinus macrodon, that is one cute little creature!

 

[olemiss reb]

Is there something else in the pic other than the Goby that I'm not seeing? The white/clear fish with black/brown stripes is an Elacatinus macrodon.

 

[Hadla]

Yeah, everything else looks like rock :/
