yet another fish ID thread...

[itZme]

Hi,
I acquired this fish in a package deal. The owner didn't know what to call it and I haven't found one like it online through all my searching. It is about 1.25" in length and maybe .5" tall. Anybody have an idea what it is?



Thanks in advance,

Green clown goby, Gobiodon atrangulatus.

Thank you very much! I even searched using the term "Clown Goby" because that's what I thought it was in my mind. The pics that showed up were all yellow fish so I gave up on that and went on searching google images for "goby" then scrolling through over 35 pages of pics to no avail.

Thx again for the fast reply.

Yes a yellow fish came up because that is also a clown goby. I believe there are 5 different types of clown gobies.

My pleasure, like AquaReeferMan said they come in several flavors but I think the green ones are the prettiest. Nice looking fish.

There are a few speices reffered to as green clown gobies.
Gobiodon histrio
Gobiodon erythrospilus
Gobiodon atrangulatus
I would say yours is either histro or atrangulatus.
