he is shy ,, and hides most of the time. he is a real pretty blue color, almost irradecent.
thanks

It looks like a blue gundgeon to me, they are noty gobies though. They are tile fish. The sci. name is Hoplolatilus starcki. I do not know anything about these fish, accept tilefish are very diofficult to keep alive in captivity. Most cannot fulfil their dietary requirements, although this one may be one of the easier of the species...
 
no, sorry , that isn't it. mine is all blue, not just the head. it is close though , and thank you for the try ...

Ok then, try Ptereleotris microlepis, these are members of the goby family and is also the fish you get if you do a google search using the keywords....blue gundeon
