hey everyone! i bought this fish as a panda coral goby and finally after a week in the tank it looks abit different... i think it might be a juvenile hawkfish or maybe a juvenile frogfish [?]
the fish also has some "hair" on his front part- mostly face [cant see o the pics]
the fish was bought from an import from kenya
thank you for your help!

Looks like a gum drop coral croucher to me. They are venemous so be careful when handling and mine need to be target fed with a turkey baster. Adorable little fish.

I couldn't tell from the picture if there was any pvc or anything in the tank but as others have said this is an extremely shy reclusive fish and he will need something to hunker down in or he will not feel comfortable. If it is a quarantine tank, I'd recommend at least some pvc or some faux corals for him to crouch.
