Poor watchman! Ask Beth, she almost always has the answer for fish diseases....
Is he from Aqua Hut? I never have luck with gobies from there. They'll be fine for months and then start looking weird and die :-(

I have him in a 10 QT, but he is very black, hope its not too much stress. I added some melafix and pimafix. I have the salinity down a little bit also...

Describe his symptoms. The pictures are bit unclear. Is that an open sore? Is this fish being harassed?
Is that QT well cycled? Use Maracyn Two for SW fish, which is an antibiotic. Make sure you have good water movement in the QT. Give the goby hiding places, either fake rocks, pvc pieces, etc.
