Fish ID....Anyone recognize this??

Does anyone recognize this fish?

Sorry not a very clear pic, but he hides most of the time. He only comes out to grab some food and then dashes back again.

Thanks!

looks like a clown goby of some kind.

great to see you Ivyvine

Kinda looks like a catalina Goby... though I hope it isn't. They're not long-lived in our tropical-temp. tanks.

Thanks guys!!

Wit, I think it "is" some kind of a clown goby, but I have never seen one this color

. Does anyone know what colors clown gobies come in ??

Travis, No ..... it is not a catalina goby, my LFS always has those in stock. Would never buy one, but they are cute. That is an awesome shot!!

i dont think so trav. the head looks taller and the eye set back farther on the head.

Edit: oops Ivy beat me to the enter key....lol

Could be a couple different species, but my guess is Gobiodon quinquestrigatus

In my books I counted 8 different species of clown gobie Ranging green, red, orange and yellow.

ivyvine1 · 12-22-2003, 12:20 AM

Hmmm.... Very well could be a reddish clown goby.

RR - do you know if this is the same as a Citron??

Thanks!

reefrunner · 12-22-2003, 01:24 AM

Same family different species. The citrons are the yellow clown gobies Gobiodon okinawae.
