Help me ID this
This guy showed up with my live rock from Tampa Bay. He's about 1/2 inch. I didn't see him for a couple of months, but now he zips around the bottom every once in a while. It's hard to get a clear pic because he doesn't stand still long. Does anyone have an idea what he is? He runs, not swims.

Awesome! I have no idea, but I seem to remember that someone posted about a similar-looking fish a year or two ago.

It's not a goby. He has legs and no dorsal fin!

If it is the Elacatinus macrodon, that is one cute little creature!

Is there something else in the pic other than the Goby that I'm not seeing? The white/clear fish with black/brown stripes is an Elacatinus macrodon.
