Correct ID for this Goby

[Euphyllia97]

Hi all,

Just wondering about the correct name for my goby, as the pattern looks a bit different to the diamond watchman.

Im not a fish ID expert but it Looks like a orange stripe prawn goby to me.

Does he have a rounded back fin with a black spot on it?

EDIT: This can't be it...no stripe through the eye.

Looks more like a flagtail shrimp goby:

OP, can you get a few more pictures of the whole fish. Hard to positively ID, could even be a pink bar goby.

I was primarily judging by the eyes and pattern on tail.

I can't see the tail but my eyes aren't great. I've seen some of these gobies develop the stripe from juvenile to adult as well. At least we nailed goby, lol

Seems like his tail has the same pattern...he just doesn't have it fanned out.

I'd personally go with this ID.

I was thinking a shrimp goby, member of the Amblyeleotris group of goby

Your picture doesn't seem to be as blurry.. do you have something to unblur pictures lol. Cause the original isn't that clear to me.

Nothing more than just the zoom function on the browser
