havent got a pic yet but it is like a sleeper goby but with a sharper snout. One lateral stripe in black full length on a whte body. Has some yellow spotting in the double dorsal. Was brought in from vanautu as a pigi rainbow fish supposedly native to australia. It is about 3". Anyone heard of these before?
 
wont win potm but you may get the idea. sorry for blue glow but night pic in a big als bag makes things blue.

hard to tell with pics that blurry.... u may be too close in focus... try taking a magnifying glass... the ones with the lil circle... put the lil circle to the lens and snap a shot... brings u closer without blurrying the picture
 
the closest i have found to it is hypseleotris/eleotris guentheri in aquarium atlas vol 2 pg 1068. but that fish gets to 2.25" and this is nearly 3-4"
 
Have great pics of him now. managed to snag some more, coming in from vanauatu next wk
