Excuse me, I'm sorry, I dont think its a Dusky at all.... look at the fin with the spot....it doesn't match.

Hmmm, off to Google again!

This makes no since, this is a Dusky Jawfish:

Info on Duskies from Animal Planet:
Animal Planet :: Fish Guide -- Gobies

This is a Dusky also:

Hmm,your fish is not a Dusky IMO, but I cant find anything else that matches the picture

Clownfishfan · Apr 28, 2012

I dont think it's a jawfish ,I'm leaning towards a goby...

FishBro · Apr 28, 2012

Thats what I was thinking but I cant find it here : Gobies
