Looks to me like a scooter blenny.

yep not a goby at all
they are pod eaters for the most part like madarin gobies some like you said yours is eats brine but I would try mysis shrimp instead it has much more nutritional value than brine.
If its not eating the brine and picking at it then thats not a good sign what size tank and how much LR do you have.
