Help w ID please

I rescued a 14gal BioCube last night. This guy is 5-6" long and probably too large for this small tank. I eventually want to keep softies, zoas, acan.

What is this? It's eel like but not an eel. Some sort of catfish?

Thanks.

I believe that's an engineer blenny.

I believe you're right. It's so big.

It'd look DOPE in a large reef.

Thanks for your help.

You mean engineer goby..

You mean engineer goby..

Technically it's neither with either common name of goby or blenny being used interchangeably. The real family name is Pholidichthyidae instead of Gobiidei or Blennioidei.

Engineer blennies/gobies can get long. I've seen an 11" long one and it was awesome... All wiggly and stuff.
