Better pic of mystery goby... Edit: *solved*

Edit: Someone on RC found it! Apparently its not a very common goby. Tomiyama Shrimp Goby..

"Tomiyamichthys oni (Tomiyama 1936), the Monster or Fan Shrimp Goby. West Pacific; Malaysia, Philippines, Southern Japan. To 10 cm. in length. Found in burrows with Alpheus bellulus. N. Sulawesi pic. "

Looks like i'll have to move it to a bigger tank whenever I get one.. heh.

Brought the little guy home today. Its about 1.5" long, from nose to tip of tailfin. Tiny little thing. It also has a fairly tall(proportionally) dorsal fin it pops up when alarmed. I can't take very good photos through the front of the tank due to its slightly curved acrylic nature, but heres the best one I got..
