wingo are you making this up? :lol:

 

[noodleman]

is it a sleeper goby?

I don't know is it a goby It's about 10-12". The supplier says it's reef safe, peaceful and not commonly found. The front portion of the fish have stripes of very electric/metallic blue tint and very thin body. I will eventually get a pic of him. It's shy in my tank but the mouth is big so I dare not put him in my "FIRST SW TANK" - a tank with everything, coral, rocks, sand, inverts, plants, fish , pods, worms, dirt ......

You forgot I am an old school hobbyist who still believe in the oldest technology in this hobby, undergravel and monaco systems. So logically, I like old school live stock too.
