Can someone tell me what type of Goby I have?

[daveghawkins]

I have attached some photos. I have looked and looked, but have been unable to find any info.

She was in my LFS, and she's a great character, but can't find out what she is.

Cheers

Dave

PS. She's a quick mover. This is the best photo from around 30 attempts! I'll try to get a clearer one if this isn't good enough. She never stops moving, unless it's night time!

Looks like a watchman goby. Just from the color.

Wow, hmmm. Kinda looks like a canary blenny. Maybe, maybe not. Check here.

She is defy not a watchman.

And I don't think she's a blenny.

She has the same shape face as my clown goby, but is approx 4-5 inches long.

Her body is eel like, and had a forked tail.

Her body is orange with a purply tint. She has long fins running the length of her body on top and bottom and they are yellow.

I have some more photos. Still suite blurry. She is always out moving, and never stops.

That looks like her. LFS told me she was a goby. There we are then.

I looked up some other pics on the net and they look like her.

Thanks all

I am going with some type of blenny. I really do not think it is a goby.

Did you harvest her from the ocean? If so what area. That might help narrow it down a bit.

I think she is more likely a blenny as well.

Looks more like a midas blenny than a canary blenny, from the pic I almost said it was a tile goby.

I agree.

 

[daveghawkins]

I'll stick with the midas blenny I think.

Doing a search on the internet, a lot of photos look very similar.

Thanks all
