really monster looking fish id

Looks a bit like those gobies they sell at petsmart, except scaled up a few hundred %
 
Violet Goby-I'd recognize that face anywhere!

Location fits the species, as does the face, tiny eyes, and that long dorsal fin and eel like length. I have heard of them reaching 24" in captivity. I've owned a 12" specimen that I gave up due to habitat decisions-needs to be brackish. And yes, purple tinted.

Walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, probably a duck...
 
Violet Dragon Gobies come from the US. I can't remember where but I have seen these before... *********** put them on their ad in TFH a while back, it's not a Dragon Goby.
