most likely was a diamond goby or something similiar. Definitely in the goby family though. Could have been a sleeper goby as well.

diamond gobies are sand sifters as well, usually much more than sleepers.

Be prepared to clean sand off your rocks and corals (if ya have any) daily. Mine was a ball to watch, but got sand everywhere. And make sure you have a secure hood.

You probably saw a diamond gobie. I have a rainfords gobie that sifts just the very upper layer of sand, very cool personality. Doesn't make a mess with the sand like other sand sifters do.

my diamond goby kept my sand so white, I forgot it could even look that white. Then he jumped right out of the tank! Only had him about a month...so get some eggcrate too, they're jumpers!
