If he's talking about the marbled sand goby, it's Oxyeleotris marmorata. Grows to about 20".

That is the one I had, it was given to me as a marbled sleeper goby but never looked like the other sleepers to me. Huge mouth. Thanks Oddball, it has bugged me for years. They make great "garbage disposals."
