Goby ID Please

[Cougra]

I'm looking for an ID on this goby. I'm finding it hard to ID since there are so many similar type/colour gobies. Hopefully someone here will have better luck!

Do a google on Coryphopterus glaucofrenum and see what you think. I'm not sure whether your camera is capturing all of the true colors. Good luck.

The colours are fairly accurate. The spots are more brown then orange and there is a definate metallic/highly reflective looking spot on it's gill cover. There aren't any definate stripping patterns and the goby is fairly well settled in since it's been at the LFS for at least three weeks now so it's not stress colouration.

Is that the same fish you posted before. It is not a Cave Goby, Coryphopterus glaucofrenum they are transparent. I see 2 or 3 in Steve's link that look really close.

Yes Boomer. I just got another picture of the same goby. I'll keep looking.
