Question

ID Goby

Was looking around and saw this pic of a goby that a guy is trying to ID... I am totally stumped, any thoughts. he says it will swim to the top of the tank and eat out of his hand or even try to eat his hand.

thanks, i will take a closer look at the pics.

i initially thought it was a dragon goby too but after close examination i don't think so. plus he didn't mention any sand sifting ability.
