Another round of "Name That Fish!"

Goby or Blenny?

It sits on the bottome with red and white stripes (bands) which makes it look like a candy can.

Name that fish!

One fin that travels the whole length of its body, or two seperate dorsal fins? First one is a blenny, second is a goby. If it has the two seperate fins, it's probably a red striped goby. There's some type of watchman goby that looks like a candycane too, but I can't remember what it's called.

And hey... now you know how to tell the difference between gobies and blennies The one that I can think that doesn't follow this rule is an engineer goby, who has a long straight fin like blennies do.

With that clue cow, I think I have found it..

it is a goby (two fins) which narrowed my search.
I looked for a red striped goby, it is not that.
Then I searched for watchman goby..

and..

ready?

its a Gorgeous Prawn Goby!

This is a pic I found, closest to it. The site didnt give much of info. tips?

they are adorable. I visited my goby again earlier today (probably another week or so before I take it home) and I named it Fido because it sits and 'watches' like a dog, lol
