Whats the name of this goby/blenny? It is paired with a pistol shrimp.

Looking for an id on this fish. It is paired with an pistol at my lfs. Sorry for the picture quality.

It's a blenny . Not real sure on which one though

 

[ThRoewer]

From what I can tell it has an interrupted dorsal fin, so it's a goby.
It looks like one of the watchman gobies which would make it natural for it to pair up with a burrowing pistol shrimp.

Anyone else?

It's for sure not a blenny but a goby.

You got a better picture? It's kind of well camouflaged on that sand and an ID is rather tough that way. A different angle would help.

Here is the best pic i could get

Does he have really thick lips ? On the first photo he kinda looks like a sand hopper to me ... But oddly not on the second one.
I'll get my book...

Looks like an Amblyeleotris or Cryptocentrus species - watchman goby. Don't have the time right now to break out the Burgess' and look up the precise species.

 

[ThRoewer]

It's Cryptocentrus fasciatus

It's Cryptocentrus fasciatus

For The Win! Thanks for the ID. Below is another pic for reference

Cool fish.

 

[ThRoewer]

I would take it.
BTW, ORA breeds them, so you could get a second to make a pair.
I've also seen them to make mixed pairs with yellow watchmen gobies.
